This is for YOU guys! The success of your VHF-DX operations is mainly a matter of being on the band at the right time and frequency. In order to avoid devoting all your time to listening to white noise, you will need to know when to look for what. Having been asked for my sources of information a trillion times, I finally decided to launch a link summary. There may be other relevant websites around, but these are the ones I use myself. Here we go

The goal of the procedures described is to enable contacts to be made by meteor scatter reflection (MS) as quickly and easily as possible. As the reflections are of very short duration the normal QSO procedure is not readily applicable, and special measures must be taken to ensure that a maximum of correct and unmistakeable information is received. The best meteor showers are mostly strong enough to make some of these measures unnecessary, but to encourage use of all generally listed showers there is no reason why the suggested procedures should not always be used.
