2009 Leonids may be extra good ???
"On November 17, 2009, we expect the Leonids to produce upwards of
500 meteors per hour", according to Bill Cooke of the NASA Marshall
Space Flight Center. On 2008 Nov 17 the earth passed thru a dust
stream from Comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle. Jeremie Vaubaillon of Caltech
had predicted this crossing with one-hour precision. While almost
no one expected the old stream to produce a strong shower, observers
in Asia and Europe counted as many as 100 meteors per hour. This
outburst proved that the 1466-passage stream is rich in meteor-
producing debris. On 2009 November 17, the earth will pass through
the 1466 stream again, but closer to the center of the stream.
Both Cooke and Vaubaillon expect a sub-storm outburst on November 17,
peaking between 2134 and 2144 UTC. For visual observers, this timing
favors observers in Asia. In North America, it will be late afternoon
before the radiant rises, but radio coverage of the shower may still
be possible. And the Leonids can surprise us, so mark the date on
your calendar.

I know the band is dead at present and presumably there won't
be much improvement by then but if anyone thinks it would be
worth it I'll give it a whirl. SOURCE: Bren G4DYO via UKSMG Ann.
