Information presented to the SPA Meteor Section from November and December, 2001 is given, except that from near the Leonid peaks already discussed in (McBeath 2002a&b). a surprisingly strong radio peak was found on November 14-15 (lambda app. 233deg), well in advance of the Leonid maxima, and chiefly in the European and North American data. Japanese results in (Ogawa 2002b) indicated this probably originated in enhanced bright Leonid rates. December 1-2 brought another spectacular, widely-seen, fireball for UK, northern France and Low Country observers around 22h40m+-5m UT, when part of a Russian Proton rocket booster = returned to Earth. The Geminid maximum was well-seen visually and by radio. = Visual observers enjoyed ZHRs of 90+ all night on December 13-14 (from at = least 23h-11h UT in these results), with many radio observers concurring on their echo counts found sometime between 20h-9h UT then. The peak = was not sharply-defined using either technique however, although visual rates = were registered as marginally highest on December 14 at 6h+-1h UT = (lambda=3D262.29 deg +-0.04 deg; ZHR=3D108+-9), while the radio analysis yielded a mean peak time of 6h36m+-1h UT on the same date (lambda=3D262.31 deg +-0.04 deg). The = Ursids were barely discernible either to our visual or radio reports. On December 21 and 22, ZHRs were no better than 5+-3 over Europe or North America, and several experienced watchers returned zero counts on both dates. Notes concerning a supposed meteorite fall in Snowdonia, North Wales at same point between October 21 and December 10, 2001 are also given.
