I forgot to rotate the 9.2 back into the horizontal plane tonight. Vertical doesn't usually bring in much on meteor scatter, but tonight was different. The beam was aimed approximately SSE and I heard dozens and dozens of Italian stations. Possibly even hundreds! Bursts of activity appeared very frequently indeed. While that sounds good, each time Italy rolled in, there was lots of co-channel QRM which resulted in mush. Very little of this was strong enough for RDS so I was pleased to squeeze out the above stations.
Now lets hope the Quadrantids will bring us all some gems over the next couple of nights.
Good DX!
