(meteorobs) Geminids from Brazil
GEMINIDEOS DECEMBER 13/14/15 2002 REPORTES (Informal)
I particularly swim I could observe of the shower of meteors Geminds due to
the bad atmospheric conditions of my area (Mococa/SP - Brazil).
But, some friends sent me its reportes that I transcribe to proceed and none
of them participates in Meteorobs-list :
REPORT OF OBSERVATION - METEOROS GEMINDS
Type of Observation: visual
Local: Sobral / CE - Brazil (3 41 10 N, 20 40 59 W)
Date: of 14 /15 of December 2002
Hour: 00:00 to 01:00 (01:00 to 02:00 schedule of summer (-2) - 02:00 UT
I number of observed meteors: 45 in one hour.
Color: white and yellow
Magnitude: 80% mag. between 3 and 4, 10% mag. between 2 and 3, 10% between 1
and 2
(medium percentages)
Trajectory: almost everybody dropping for the directions North and Northeast
Speed: High
Atmospheric conditions: 100% clean, cloudless.
The amount of meteors can have been larger but there was close to the place
of observation LP in a ray of 10 meters (posts), more the Moon in Aries with
about 70% of its illuminated face.

2 - REPORT OF OBSERVATION - RAIN OF METEOROS GEMIDS
Type of Observation: Radio Meteor
As my observations the total of meteors per hour reached an average of 50,
measure in the period between 02:00 UTC and 04:30 UTC, when I was trying a
contact direct radio in the strip of 144 MHz with a colleague amateur radio
of it Castrates Town, in to South Africa.
That strip of VHF needs of many reflections in meteorites - and this went to
best than I witnessed in my 32 years of radio amateurism!
A colleague ours of Londrina, Paraná, listened my reflected signs of a close
distance to 2000 km, at the same time in that got to listen brief (even so
confirmed) signs of that other south-African colleague - Chris (ZR1L), also
with reflection characteristics in meteorites. Myself recorded 32 sequences
of signs of that colleague, that it is at a distance of 6500 km. (It is
notorious that the geometry and the altitude of the you burn of meteorites
they impose a theoretical maximum limit of reflection about of 2000-2200 km,
however I am already there are months trying a transoceanic contact in that
strip (he/she saw tropo refraction) and I can affirm it that the reflections
in the meteorites helped - and a lot!)
In GG66SH they were received from this time 36 sequences in FSK441. The
strip of 2 meters is seeming a Swiss cheese of so many pings of
meteors!
Finally, they are just given vacated but I think can have some value
for another similar experiences.
Note: Once again I renew my gratefulness for its attention and gracefulness,
reiterating my request so that sends me - whenever possible - yours very
useful efemerids and reports of observations. This informal partner - even
so very profitable - it is clear demonstration that interested citizens and
specialists can produce surprising results and even of great usefulness for
the community.

I take advantage of to want to all the hunters of dispersed meteorobs for
the world, votes of Merry Christmas and a New Year with health, peace and
replete of success!!!
Celestial hugs, clean skies!
