This year's Geminids was not the enormous shower the media were predicting, but it was pretty good on the whole. Lots of regulars, so I ignored those and only logged two personal firsts (via this mode) and two rarer catches.
Good DX!

I recorded between 0400 - 0900 this morning but found Leonid activity very poor. As yesterday evening, I only logged personal firsts. Most bursts were Polish, but French and German was also heard. Surprisingly, nothing from Sweden or Finland!

This year's Leonid meteor shower looked like it was going to be something really special as the moment I switched on my SDR there was an intense five minute Scandinavian burst, starting at 2257. But I only added two new stations to the log. Let's see what sunrise brings.
