The radio maximum of the 2006 Quadrantid shower was determined by conducting a global survey incorporating over 5,000 hours of radio forward scatter data. A significant rise in echo activity above the background sporadic counts began at 2006 January 3, 10h00m UT and continued into January 4, 6h00m UT. The strongest sustained activity levels for raw echo counts occurred during the hours of 19h-22h UT. The maximum mean echo rate occurred during the hour of 19h UT or at solar longitude = 283.190g - solar longitude = 283.232 g. However, the mean echo duration data showed the maximum was reached during the hour of 18h UT, or between solar longitude = 283.147 g and solar longitude = 283.190 g. A brief secondary duration peak was noticed at 22h UT. The mean echo duration data is in strong agreement with the predicted peak of 18h20m UT. Although the visual observation data are too limited for a definitive conclusion the visual maximum does seem to be co-located near the same general solar longitude as the radio maximum. All epochs are J2000.0.
