Hi all, The Perseid Meteor Shower is generally know as the best of all showers for scatter. I am hearing that this years event is going to be one of the better ones in many years. Again, this shower gets hyped a lot. It is known for larger and slower moving particles and is easier to work random QSOs on voice and CW. It will also spark an Es event at least for 10 & 6 Meters. I am not sure if it is a good event for WSJT modes. If you are interested, I have put on the SWOT Homepage a link about this Meteor Shower. Take it with a grain of salt. It is predictions, and they can be wrong. It starts and peaks next week.

I also plan to be recording VHF frequencies on my SDR to pass the time. Good Luck and 73 Art Jackson KA5DWI/7 DM34un Dewey AZ __._,_.___
