Orionids Meteor Shower (Peak Time and Condition)
Since Orionids is the second firstest meteor shower, a lot of bright meteors and trains are observed. The parant comet is 1P/Halley. In 2006 and 2007, outburst activities were observed in the world.
Radio Meteor Observation is possible to catch its activities when ourburst occured. On the other hand, however, it is impossibe to find a clear activity under no-outburst. One of this reasons is a high speed geocentric velocity.

Conditions in the future (2021-2025) for Radio Meteor Observations
Below lists are observig conditions for radio meteor observers in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. This is listed for radio observers (NOT for visual observers). You can see visual observing conditions as following AMS site.
