Scatter really struggling this morning due to the current spell of unsettled weather and my 9.2 has been lowered because of high winds.

There has only been a minor appearance of the Perseids though. 90.8 was chosen for my overnight recording where Bornberg was the most persistent burster by some margin. Cottbus was also quite frequent.

Good DX!
