[50mhz] AU report-updated

[John Geiger]

Wow!  Who would have thought that Wednesdays AU was
just a warm up for the big event thursday!  The Aurora
this far south was definitely better on thursday. 
Left work early when I saw AU reports on the
reflector, and got home to find 2 meters going
strongly.  K4QI was booming in here from FM06, at
times hitting S7.  W0AH was hitting S9 at times from
DM78.  

Stations worked on 2 meters were
K4QI FM06 1083 miles
W4MYA FM07 1153 miles, best DX
K9MRI EN70
K5QE EM31-furthest south
W0BJ DN91 new grid
N5FAC EM35
W0AH DM78

I heard N5BLZ from EL29 on Aurora, but didn't get him.
 Also heard EM00 on AU, so this got pretty far south.

Then went to 6 meters for some AuE and F2.  The KH6s
were really coming in last night-reaching S9 at times.
 Worked KH6/K9FD from BL11, AH6RE from BL02, and
KH6/WA2HFI from BK29.  The first 2 were new grids on
6.  WOrked N0LL from EM09, and then picked up 2
additional new grids on 6 from W5HUQ EM35 and WA5IYX
from EL09.  

It was also exciting to hear Mike, NH6CJ, and Art
KA5DWI work W5HUQ for state #49 for both of them. 
They now join myself, NL7CO, and WB5AFY as needing
only RI for 6 meter WAS.

Doesn't look like we will have any AU tonight
(probably because I don't have to teach a night
class), which will allow me time to get reacquainted
with the family.  Hope everyone else enjoyed the
openings.
