An observation of the electromagnetic radiation associated with Leonid meteorite collisions with the moon was attempted around the 1999 Leonid maximum on November 18. The Kashima 34-m radio telescope was pointed at the moon and the x-band signal was recorded on November 15, 16, and 18. Optical "flash" events caused by the meteorite impacts were observed during this Leonid maximum. Al-though the data around the flash events were studied, none of the events was accompanied by x-band radiation. The reason why radiation was not observed is supposedly that the antenna was observing the lunar center, though the flash events were observed near the edge of the moon. This result suggests that we may have to wait for another such good observational chance, as the lunar-shadow region was bombarded by meteorites when the Leonid reached its maximum. It is also advisable to track the lunar-shadow region where the flashes are expected to be observable, instead of the lunar center.
