Leonid meteor shower

This peaks on November 17th. 

Usually meteor showers result in VHF reflections. Although some manage QSOs with random meteors, the duration of reflections is usually longer in showers, so QSOs tend to be easier. 

Pings tend to be strong, but of short duration. MSK144 is a popular mode.

UPDATE 0942z:  No spots overnight. I hope I am on the correct frequency.

Lyrid Meteor Shower

Space Weather reports we are in the middle of the Lyrid meteor shower. Compared with some showers, this is not that big. A solar storm is passing.
