Meteor Scatter from Perseid Meteor Shower, WED, 8/12/2026? What a dud...

I doubt that many of us will be able to see this, due to all these storms & continued cloudiness. However, if you can't see them, then maybe you can listen for them with Upper HF, and Lower VHF, Meteor Scatter.  https://hamsci.org/msqp-rules   And, don't forget that you can listen for FM scatter from weak / empty FREQ's from 87.9FM - 107.9FM. A 30", 1/4-wave, whip antenna and a good car stereo works great for this.

Yeah... Didn't see, or hear crap from Perseid this year. What a dud...

The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.
