The Perseids, the most famous meteor shower, look very promising this year. It is already possible to establish relatively successful FSK441 connections, while the maximum in Central Europe comes from the evening of August 12 to 13, 2018, while ZHR will be 80-100.

The parent body of the Perseids is comet P/Swift-Tuttle, and if a very close approach were to occur, the ZHR could be even higher, the increase in activity would be very sharp. The activity ends on August 20. Conditions for visual observers should also be very good. The most suitable times for connections in the axes: NE - SW 07 - 12 UT, NW - SE 20 - 02 UT.
