 Today MS
Today's Meteor Activity

Mostly everybody of you have seen the so called "shooting stars" and was impressed to see (or possible hear) some seconds a meteor (or the dust trail of an meteor) on its way into our earth atmosphere. Radioamateurs will use these meteor reflections to have connections on the VHF bands (28 to 432 MHz) at a range of normaly 500-2200km.
If you want to read more about the theory, practice, tools and so on please feel free to take a look at some articles in our FORUM.
The 'Today's Meteor Activity' graphic on the top of the page shows the daily Meteor Activity recorded by Andy, G7IZU. It's updated every hour.

PREVIEW of 144 MHz-Activities for the upcomming METEOR-Showers

UPCOMING METEOR-SHOWERS: JULY 2010


Shower activity in July is concentrated around the end of the month. Most remarkable shower this month is Southern δ-Aquariids, peaking July 28. This medium-ZHR shower is characterized by relatively faint meteors, but its maximum can be quite broad, leading to similar ZHR from July 28th to 30th. For European observers, the Radiant of this shower is above horizon only in night / early morning hours.

Some minor showers are also active around the end of July: Piscis Austrinids can be used for MS predominantly from the Southern Emisphere, while α-Capricornids is characterized by bright meteors with low apparent velocity, that make this shower one of the most spectacular to observe visually.

Take also advantage of very good Sporadic Meteors rates: Sporadics rates are now approaching annual maximum, which will take place in late summer.


For Radio Observers, the (theoretical) UT peaks for upcoming showers in July 2010 are as follows:


Piscis Austrinids (Southern emisphere shower)
Active: July 15 – August 10
Maximum: July 28 (λsol= 125°)
ZHR: Low (5 hr-1)

Southern δ-Aquariids
Active: July 12 – August 19
Maximum: Jul 28 (λsol= 125°)
ZHR: Medium (16 hr-1)

α-Capricornids
Active: July 03 – August 15
Maximum: July 30 (λsol= 127°)
ZHR: Low (5 hr-1)

Please remember to UPDATE your "eMWS & DXCC Lists". That will help stations to plan properly their next activities...

Gd luck via METEORSCATTER - every sked (SSB & FSK & HSCW) will be welcome!

Make More Miles on VHF MS Activity OVERVIEW



As well as in the past PERSEIDS and GEMINIDS MS-Shower the VHF-DX-Portal MMMonVHF
will be trying to setup an up to date MS OVERVIEW during the next METEOR SHOWER.



MMMonVHF did start 2008 to archive the ACTIVITY-OVERVIEW´s from the past MS-Shower:

MS-SPRINT & PERSEIDS 2008:

The following MAP and OVERVIEW shall be an extract and an announce-place
during MS-Contests or / and Meteorscatter-Showers:



last update: Perseids 2009


We will try to spread in short time infos "who will be "were" qrv and use "which" qrg ...
Of course it can be not a complete overview and shall be only an extract what is going on.
