Observer:  Maurice De Meyere
Location:  Deurle, Belgium  (3 37' E, 51 00' N)
Frequency: 66.29 MHz since July 2001
Antenna:   crossed Yagi (x form), 4 elements, astronomical azimuth 270 deg
           (= E), elevation 27 deg.
           Antenna amplifier: 25 dB  max level  90 dBmuV
Receiver:  commercial, Progresson 447A, TESLA (Bratislava)
           The receiver was calibrated with a Marconi TF2008 signal
           generator. Sensitivity: 5 muV (modulation frequency
           1000 Hz, frequency sweep 38 kHz) at (S+N)/N = 20 dB.
           SWR of antenna alone at 66.5 MHz: 1.4/1 (good to very good),
           measured with MFJ/259P SWR analyzer (HF-VHF 1.8 MHz to 170 MHz)
           on Sep 28, 1998.
Observing method: automated setup, 150 samples/second, 8 bit resolution.
           [Time and details of all individual meteor reflections are stored
           on file in the Ghent University format (Prometeos), and are
           available for further analysis. Reduction software for DOS and
           Windows available].

Location: Astronomical Observatory, Ghent University, Belgium
          (ED50 coordinates: 3 42' 32" E, 51 01' 25" N)
Antenna (2x): 4 elements horizontal Yagi, pointed East, elevation 20 deg
Antenna amplifier: 10 dB gain
        narrow band resonance lambda/4 antenna filter
Frequency: (1)=66.29 MHz (signal) and (2)=65.3 MHz (interference control)
Receiver (2x): modified commercial FM receiver
Data acquisition: 12 bits PC-based A/D convertor, 250 Hz sampling rate
Interference rejection:
   dual setup: receiver (1) tuned at distant transmitter, receiver (2)
   tuned at empty frequency. Anti-coincidence measurement rejects
   registration of broadbanded spurious signals (lightning, computers,
   ignition motors, etc).
Further information:
   see WWW page (additional info + observational data)
   http://allserv.rug.acdot be/~hdejongh/astro/meteor/meteor.html
Data format:
   results are shown as total reflection time, expressed as
   a percentage. The actual number shows 10 times this value.
   When no figure is shown, the equipment was either out of service,
   or results could have been affected by interference, sporadic-E.

Notes:
* affected by direct reception due to tropospheric or ionospheric propagation
# local interference 
- no observations
. Due to the uncertain situation of the Spanish TV transmitters on channel E3,
  I switched to a French transmitter on 60.5 MHz. Unfortunately, this results
  in half as much reflection. There are still two Spanish transmitters on
  55.75 MHz, so I could have waited a little.
. A lot of continuous or almost continuous reception during the Perseid.
  I had to throw away quite some counts.

Notes:
 ?  probably affected by Es.
    When no figure is shown, the equipment was out of service.
 .  The Perseid meteors appear to have been with us from late July until the 
    end of August with no spectacular peak.
    Elevated counts this month appear to have come from the Perseids, 
    delta Aquarids, delta Arietids and other minor showers.

Notes:
.  -  no results
.  the tail end of the delta Aquarids activity, a zone of Perseid activity 
   and possibly some daylight gamma Leonids activity are visible.
   The Perseids were not very strong here, being so far south and my 
   antenna is pointing SW also.
.  local time = UT + 10 hours

Notes:
. Perseids did not show any significant peaks aside from the broad old 
  maxima - much like expected.
. once again: scaling may not be same as last year(s).
. some Tropos during the nights in late July.

2. ABOUT THE RMOB

The RMOB is an independent initiative of some workers in the field of radio
meteor scatter observations and data reduction. It started in August 1993 in
order to spread rapidly the Perseid results via E-mail. Since then, it has
appeared monthly, and it has gradually been expanded. In regularly publishing
summaries of observations, potential radio observers are kept up to date of
existing installations, possibilities and limitations of radio meteor
observations. In the long run, there should be sufficient observing stations
to cover the whole globe, allowing to detect stream outbursts which may
remain unnoticed visually.

RMOB contains typically: summaries of recent observations, equipment data,
first results of stream activity by radio methods, relations between radio
and optical meteors, references to other publications in the field of meteor
astronomy and radio scatter techniques, announcements of meetings, short
questions and answers, non-commercial (second hand) sale of radio equipment,
available software.

Contributors are mentioned, and interested persons are asked to contact them
directly.

RMOB can be copied freely in unabridged and unmodified form. Extracts should
indicate the source (Radio Meteor Obs Bulletin, month and year).

If you want to subscribe (or un-subscribe) to the E-mail distribution list,
please send a message to C. Steyaert.
Those not having access to E-mail can obtain a printed copy free of charge
