[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 938701, member: 369937"] Well last night turned out to be as good as the night before, some good ones around 1 AM, one even had a twisty tail to it and lost some small stuff off it as it got to the end, made for a good show. I saw some complaining about those small buzzy things that tend to drain your blood supply dry, if you have a big problem with mosquito's, and like to spend time outdoors I would recommend was is called a "Mosquito Magnet". It's a bit expensive but with the possibility of contracting the "West Nile" virus it's worth it. Info on this. device. [code]http://www.mosquitomagnet.com/[/code] Info for Skometal, Meteor trails can scatter RF signals just as good as atmospherics, (commonly called "Meteor burst communications**) with a motorized pan and tilt beam antenna (or one with a high vertical beam angle) we use to bounce 2 meter SSB signals off the ionized trails, it's good to have to have a spotter or a window facing that direction (the Perseids) but you can get some good skip even after the meteor is long gone. **[code]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteor_burst_communications[/code] [/QUOTE]
