Re: (meteorobs) Radio meteors - Zeta Perseids?

Michael,

I'm not sure how up to date Gary's information is. I would hope someone 
in the IMO would analyze each year's radio data and update these dates 
accordingly. I would think that the entire period from June 9-13 would 
be rich in combined Arietid and Zeta Perseid activity. It would be 
interesting to see which dates actually produce the strongest rates. 
June 7 looks good so far!
