R. Lunsford and G. Zay observed 15,114 sporadic meteors between 1992 and 1996 and their data are analyzed in this report. The data reveal a distinct seasonal trend with rates from July through December being 1.31 +/- 0.10 times those from January through June. After the effect of the changing direction of the apex of Earth's way is removed, it is found that the July through December rates are 3 +/- 10% higher than those from January through June. The average corrected hourly rate for sporadic meteors between 1992 and 1996 is 10.7 +/- 1.3 at 2:00 am local standard time under a limiting magnitude of 6.5, which is consistent with observations made between 1981 and 1991.
