Summaries of reports and correspondence received by the SPA Meteor Section form September and October, 2001 are given. September was disappointing visually, while in the radio data Sporadic-E continued to be problematical from the main May-August spell, along with difficulties because of declining transmitter numbers, especially for European observers. A discussion of the supposedly new minor shower, the so-called "September Taurids" (O'Meara 2002), in connection with radio results back to 1989, is also provided. In October, the Orionids enjoyed moon-less conditions, and were seen to peak on October 21 (mean ZHR=19+-5). The radio observations showed little consensus as to whether October 20 or 21 produced the higher echo counts however, and no specific timing could be defined beyond this. With strong aurorae present in some radio and visual data (unusually seen down to southern England on October 21-22), such difficulties were perhaps unavoidable. Radio data picked up a weak maximum around lambda=214-215 (October 27-28) which has been seen only occasionally before. The same night provided observers around on the North Sea with a spectacular brilliant green bolide at 19h20m20s UT. -------------------------cut here ------------------------------
