** Personal 'First'

This is the second morning in a row I have beamed the 9.2 to the north. It was horizontal this time whereas yesterday morning it was vertical. There doesn't ever seem to be quite the level of meteor scatter when beaming to the north. Perhaps back to north-east tomorrow night, probably vertical

Good DX!
