Kim:
You might be interested in a
paper published in the JRASC Meteor News by Peter M. Millman. The
project was called "Operation Perseid 1956" and the Journal reference is: 51,
161. The full paper is available on ADS. The Regina Astronomical
Society organized a multiple Province wide observation of the 1956 Perseid
Shower. The stations were all connected in real time by amateur
radio. Comments were received from many parts of the world when
information was exchanged between stations about various observed
meteors. They wanted to know what was going on as the ham
radio exchanges were not the normal amateur radio banter! The RAS
secured their second meteor spectrum during this program. If you can't
find the paper on ADS let me know and I can send it to you as an
attachment.

This
morning I took part in a small project that Paul Jones and I whipped up just
after this year's Leonids -- an "experimental" double-station observation
with me at the northern/western end and Paul at the southern/eastern
end, distance (app)196 miles (315 km;170 nautical
miles)as the heron flies between the two sites:
Initial headings: (between
sites)
south-southeast (161.6 degrees)
north-northwest (342.2
degrees)
