Scientific paper

Results and information collected by the SPA Meteor Section from 2001 May and June is presented and discussed. The moonlit eta-Aquarid maximum in early May was poorly-observed visually, and somewhat ill-defined in the radio results, but with a general consensus for a stronger peak around May 5-6, much as expected, perhaps with a tail of increased activity persisting for a further two days after this. No trace of any visual meteors associated with Comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3 (SW3) was found, although the minor radio peak detected previously at lambda(eq. J2000.0)=68-70 deg did produce a small maximum around lambda approx. 70 deg, May 31, in all available datasets. This is unlikely to have been due to unusual SW3 meteor rates however. There was also little trace of June Lyrid or June Bootid activity either in the visual or radio data from June, the radio activity not assisted by another strong Sporadic-E season.
