Abstract: An overview of the radio observations during November 2024 is given.
The graphs show both the daily totals (Figure 1) and the hourly numbers (Figure 2) of “all” reflections counted automatically, and of manually counted “overdense” reflections, overdense reflections longer than 10 seconds and longer than 1 minute, as observed here at Kampenhout (BE) on the frequency of our VVS-beacon (49.99 MHz) during the month of November 2024.
The hourly numbers, for echoes shorter than 1 minute, are weighted averages derived from:
Local interference and unidentified noise remained generally low, with weak lightning activity recorded on only 2 days. As in previous months fairly strong noise due to solar flares, mostly of type III, was recorded every day.
The best-known meteor showers, such as the Northern and Southern Taurids at the beginning of the month and the Leonids around 18 November showed a significant increase in the number of recorded reflections lasting 10 seconds or more (10 seconds and longer).
Further analysis also reveals several interesting smaller showers.
Over the entire month 23 reflections longer than 1 minute were recorded here. A selection of these, along with some other interesting reflections is included (Figures 3 to 20). More of these are available on request.
In addition to the usual graphs, you will also find the raw counts (subject to strict reservations as previously said) in cvs-format from which the graphs are derived. The table contains the following columns: day of the month, hour of the day, day + decimals, solar longitude (epoch J2000), counts of “all” reflections, overdense reflections, reflections longer than 10 seconds and reflections longer than 1 minute, the numbers being the observed reflections of the past hour.
