Karl, it looks like you fixed the computer problem (?)

I'm just using a cheap commercial TV antenna, pointed toward the transmitter's azimuth, and elevated about 15 degrees above the horizon.

The Colorgramme plot in the preceding post seems to show a good diurnal trend. You could probably detect more meteors by adjusting the detection threshold in the "conditional actions" program.... as long as you continue to see a clear diurnal trend, I would say you are counting meteors.
Some of the guys on the rmob site have "hair triggers" on their systems. They routinely record a couple hundred meteors per hour. However, Chris Steyaert says that anomalous meteor streams become more obvious with lower hourly counts, so I tried to adjust my system's sensitivity to yield counts similar to Chris's.
