Re: (meteorobs) Fine structure in Leonid stream?
Hi Chris,
I will send you my two audiotapes of the LEO max. They contain good
recordings of WWV second beats for about an hour and a half, from 9:18-10:57
UT, with my voice notes of meteors seen. That seems to fit your second
request below. I hope they will be of help in your study.
Best wishes, Rich Taibi
PS: These tapes furnished the data in my Nov 23 meteorobs post. RT
