Persied's Meteor Scatter on 11M galore, 02 30 UTC.

[ThaDood]

Woke-up around 2:30AM EST for a bathroom break, and seen that the skies were clouded over. So, kicked the CB on, with a Starduster GND-Plane, to see if meteor scatter could be heard. Oh yeah!!! Started at Superbowl, CH6, where stations were battling out with each other from S1 - S9, in a very rapid signals ride. Like, someone was doing a fast ride with a 40dB attenuator. Fortunately, the rig I had has a very fast AGC and was able to ride with it. Then, heard these dudes on AM CH29 from Rhode Island, where one dude commented, "I can't believe the skip is rockin' this good tonight!" Heard them make several contacts to the Carolinas and Virginia. They didn't hear me, at barefoot power, so I suspect that they were running stupid power. Then, AM CH35 had all these dudes up in NYC just picking stations out there, and NYC accents and F-bombs galore along with it. I didn't have SSB rig connected, but noticed signal peaks on CH38LSB. Also, stations on AM CH20, 28, 11, 31, and 15. Went back to bed around 3AM. Hey... I could not watch the meteors, so did the next best thing, listened for them.
