Reign of the Radio Leoinid meteor
capture.
Niether the full Moon or clouds could prevent meteor radio capture during the recent Leonid Peak meteor
shower. On November 17th at my local Sherwood observatory Nottinghmshire the recent installation of
a new dedicated meteor system required further radio calibration and software tests. This 2013 leonid
meteor shower and Earth’s rendevous with Comet tuttle debri provided an ideal window for this task.
