>NOAA cloud forecasts suggested that travelling to North Carolina would help
>ensure clearer skies. The good news was that for the 2nd peak period, the
>sky was cloudless. The bad news was that cassette tape or tape recorder
>problems distracted me and I recorded over about two hours' data from
>7:15-9:27 UT. So, this report is about the data that I was able to
>retrieve from my tapes. Like others who have commented on the 2nd peak, I
>saw mostly fainter meteors. Best wishes,
