    Looks like it's going to be cloudy here. Chit.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Thanks Cor. After some heavy rain, it's clear here now, but it's not supposed to stay that way tonight. Hope to watch the show on the web.

    We had a beautiful Night Sky for observing. But I saw nothing and gave up at 0100. I did see plenty of Lightning Bugs and airplanes.

    Most people on the NASA website chat were reporting about the same thing. If they saw anything at all, it was a trace, or two. A few were lucky enough to see at least one bright, long trace. Too bad it wasn't the spectacular event that everybody was hoping for.

Speaking of showers, I thought this guy was a fictional character... until I met him at a BARA hamfester!
    How is Phil / K2PG doing these days ? Several years ago he was rebuilding a transmitter for AM and I sold him a few thermal relays he needed. They were the kind that looked like vacuum tubes with octal pin bases. I assume he got it up and running.

    Stayed up until 3AM, with no sightings. Watched the NASA feed but only saw some noise. Oddly the Barcelona radar stream that Cor posted had more traces. They were getting 50+/hr and weren't even supposed to be in the right area for this.
