Abstract: 

The results of simultaneous observations of the Moon at λ = 6.2 cm in Pushchino and Simeiz on 17-19 November 2001 are presented. According to these observations, there are no evidences of influence of Leonid shower on the lunar radio flux. Correlation between fluctuations of lunar radio flux in Pushchino and Simeiz is absent. Impact-produced radio flashes are not detected; the upper limit for flux of such flashes is 2⋅10-8 J/Hz at λ = 6.2 cm.
