MS daytime monitoring 6M, 1st + 13 Feb 2022, South Africa
#1
I have had an email from ZS1AGX who is looking for people with 6M capability for some meteor showers due in early and middle of Feb 2022.

Visit the page at QSL.NET and have a look at what is available.   https://qsl.net/zs1agx/  There are some other interesting propagation observations for other than MS down the web page..

Quote:It is just that I am looking for someone in southern hemisphere to listen on 6m on 1st,13Feb.

I have a whole .apk on this at https://qsl.net/zs1agx/

Would you be so kind (if you know of someone who might be interested) to ask them to listen (easiest on 11m for stations 600km away) about2hours before noon?

Thanks.

Further email 24/1/22 :

There is a high rate daytime shower on Feb 1, and a low rate shower on Feb 13. These showers are a maximum elevation 2 hours before noon.
Perhaps you might check .313??
The apk displays cluster plots on a circle map, so perhaps you don't need a radio?

I also noticed on the apk beacon map, that unlike ZS, VK has beacons! (So don't need to listen on 11m). The apk draws a circle at 1500km on the 6m beacon map, and that's the best distance to listen for - but I only have one direction here!

Comment : I suspect that most of VK is too far removed from South Africa (except maybe VK6) but any showers may bear fruit to other locailites, maybe other countries.  
Probably worth a look if we can figure out the correct UTC/Z time for the "2 hours before noon" quoted despite the comment "Daytime showers for Cape Town (Dates for 2021 unless shown, other years +/- a day FOR ACTIVE SHOWERS), Times UTC+2=ZS times  
2021    Rate Rise  Set Max.El (6m Es occurs in ZS about once every 4 years) ....   on his web page.


Takers ???
