Although the peak radiant for the Leonids passed overhead during the daytime today, it may be worth trying some basic radio meteor observing tonight. (This is the radio observing level that I am personally at.) Tune to a distant over the horizon FM station 500 to 1000km distant. The frequency you select should be a distant station with no corresponding local FM station. The station you tune to provides the direction of the signal. Listen on the distant station frequency. When a meteor strikes the atmosphere, it reflects the over-the-horizon signal and the station is briefly heard. See illustration at http://radio.meteor.free.fr/us/main.html For the United States, there is an FCC site that can be used to find the location and frequency of distant stations by U.S. cities. http://www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/fmq.html For SLC, there is an FM broadcast "hole" between KRCL 90.9 and KUBL-FM 93.3. Other broadcast "holes" in the FM band are at 89, 92 and 96. (There are several stations near 95.9.) Conversely, Cedar City has a station at 92.5; Grand Junction at 92.3; Tremonton at 92.9 and 96.7; and Ely, Nevada at 92.7. Following along on the internet is also possible during the daytime (or on a Moonlight night). The "Radio Meteor Observatory's On Line" site shows the real time results for amateur stations around the world in a graphical format. http://radio.data.free.fr/main.php3 For example, a western Canadian radio observer posted a nice bell curve showing the peak transiting his daytime location. I have had less luck listening along with the NASA Internet Radio Meteor Station at Roswell New Mexico: http://science.nasa.gov/audio/meteor/navspasur.m3u Enjoy - Canopus56 __________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - Make it your home page! http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
