I might add: besides the AMS and other amateur meteor organizations who run
or have run radio meteor scatter programs, I know Peter Jenniskens at the
SETI-institute is running a global radio meteor scatter network in which a
number of amateurs with automated setups (where the computer logs the
reflections) participate, and in 1997 he with Illka Yrjolla from Finland,
published a large overview of annual stream activity based on this in
Astronomy & Astrophysics. The network's function is most notably to detect
unexpected meteor stream outbursts. Don't have the A&A ref. at hand
directly, but I am sure it will pop-up if you consult the NASA-ADS on the
web and it contains lots of info for the serious interested.
