If you are not that well informed we are just about entering the trail of a comet and also the persids. this will generate meteor showers for the next few nights peaking on the 12th August, and for those of you with VHF SSB receivers you may hear what sounds like someone whistling from time to time. These are meteor ionizing trails as they enter the upper atmosphere to burn up. Radio Hams love this event as they can bounce signals off the trails to extend the VHF/UHF contacts distance. Have fun for the next few nights.

Above: Looking northeast around midnight on August 11th-12th. The red dot is the Perseid radiant. Although Perseid meteors can appear in any part of the sky, all of their tails will point back to the radiant
