[meteorite-list] Radar observations of meteor events

[Marc Fries]

Greetings

	So I've got a fair bit of practice at identifying falling meteorites in radar data now, and a great deal of radar data taking up space on my hard drive.  I want this data used to actually collect meteorites, but there's no way I can cover all that ground myself.  So I'm going to try something here, and see if I can put the power of the internet to use to get radar data into the hands of people who will actually use it to go pick up meteorites.

	I've started a blog where I will post radar data from prominent (and not so prominent) meteor events.  I've started with Lorton, and I could use y'all's feedback on what you'd like to see in there.  By that I mean - go have a look, and let me know what other data you'd like to see in the event writeup.  Also, what other events would you like to see posted?  I'll be entering a few more in the next week or so, as time permits.

	As much as I enjoy doing this, it does eat up a lot of my time.  I've added a "tip jar" feature so that y'all can send me encouragement as you see fit.  I think that strikes a nice middle ground between spending next to no time at all on this work and actually trying to charge people to use the information.  I don't like either of those options, so let's see how this works.  I will also have to strike a balance between dumping information on the internet and producing scientific publications, but I don't foresee that being too much of a problem.

	Have a look, and let me know what y'all think.
