Default Re: DX FM reception.

An update: I listened out at several different times yesterday and heard a similar number of pings - that is nothing dramatic in terms of numbers. For those that were of long enough duration I reckon I was hearing German language transmissions. I've been listening out this morning and still the same ping rate.

By the way: In the UK the Perseid meteor source is a circumpolar source; that is, it is above the Northern Horizon all the time so there will be a feed of meteroids all day long. On previous occasions I have noticed that the peak of events can happen at a different time than the optical astronomers report - simply because they are restricted to night-time whereas radio techniques 'work' all the time, daylight or night-time.
