Really apart from Sunday, activity on Ten metres has been poor.

PERSEID METEOR ALERT: The Perseid meteor shower peaks Wednesday night. Caused by debris from giant comet 109P/Swift Tuttle, the annual shower sometimes produces more than 100 meteors per hour. This could be such a night. The best time to look is during the hours before local sunrise when the constellation Perseus is high in the sky. (Spacewaether.com)
