My Call Meteor Shower Year Band Total Completed Contacts Conditions Remarks WB9F Dec 13 Geminids Dec 7-17 2005 50 MHz 61 Very Good Shower I HAD GREAT SUCESS DURING THE WEEK OF THE SHOWER ACTIVITY. I WAS QUITE PLEASED THE ROXS AND THE MANY GRIDS AND INTIALS I PICKED UP. N8OC Aug 12 Perseids Jul 17-Aug 24 2005 50 MHz 30 Very Good Shower Since I've already worked most the guys on Pingjockey/WSJT modes, I ran mostly 6M random SSB contacts and had a great time. Bulk of contacts <800miles, but filled in a few new grids 'close in'. WA5UFH Dec 13 Geminids Dec 7-17 2005 50 MHz 28 Very Good Shower We operated "Unassisted" during the Winter Rally, heard many other station on six meters... two meter activity unassisted was disappointing here with only 8 completions ... WO9S Aug 12 Perseids Jul 17-Aug 24 2006 144 MHz 25 Meet expectations Not much enhancement noticed in comparison with sporadic except for Aug. 12-13 (within 1 day of peak). Low power (140 watts) was occasionally a handicap at other times. WA5UFH Dec 13 Geminids Dec 7-17 2008 50 MHz 18 Meet expectations All worked as random contacts during the HAHSMS Contest.

Where have all the 222 ops gone, where have those interested M.S. gone? WA5UFH Dec 13 Geminids Dec 7-17 2005 144 MHz 8 Very Good Shower Activity on call frequency "Unassisted During Rally" was very lite...

Was surprised with the sig level and duration of some burns during the week or so period around max. WA5UFH Aug 12 Perseids Jul 17-Aug 24 2005 144 MHz 5 Disappointed Because I stuck to attempting long contacts we made fewer completions. I was disappointed in shower few pings for distances over 1300 miles for me. N8OC Aug 12 Perseids Jul 17-Aug 24 2005 144 MHz 5 Meet expectations Ran mostly 6M. Batted about .500 on long haul attempts. W5UWB Aug 12 Perseids Jul 17-Aug 24 2005 50 MHz 4 Disappointed Spent too much time w/long haul 144/222.
