Geminid Meteor Shower

Posted by michael on from the bring-an-umbrella dept.

zetes writes "Space.com has an article here about a meteor shower called the Geminids, which will occur Saturday night (December 13th). Around 9 PM 'from mid-northern latitutes' will be a great time to look - at about 10 PM the Moon will rise and spoil the show. Enjoy!"

    I'm a ham, but have never done this kind of communicating. I know they use very slow morse code and set up "skeds" on clearer frequencies (or even IM or e-mail) to coordinate the conversation which comes in bits and pieces due to the temporal nature of the ionization. Any other hams care to comment?
