Quadranty 2007

Quadrantites, along with Geminids and Perseids, are among the most active swarms. However, they are characterized by a very short one, but abundant maximum, which, however, is rather difficult to predict (a few hours sooner or later). Quadrantids will be active from 1. HF dipole antenna, while the maximum with ZHR 120 we expect at night from 3. on January 4. A swarm consists mainly of larger particles moving at speed 41,5 km/s.

The most suitable times for connections in the NE-SW axes 9 to 16 OUT, V-Z are not, SZ-JV 22 to 05 OUT, S-J 00 to 05 a 09 to 14 OUT.
