I included all meteor loggings from the first hour of my recording. Note how many times the same three transmitters are received. There would easily have been around 100 entries of duplicates from Strasbourg, Chemnitz and Kosice. Pings and bursts were fast and furious from these transmitters for the first hour or two of the night, but there were still plenty of bursts from unidentified stations and I recorded 20 streams overnight. The methods I use are now becoming much simpler to organise regarding the sample rate conversions from the various web streams. Is this all a bit OTT? Yes, quite probably, but it's good fun at the moment.

Good DX!
