[AMRadio] Proof of demise

[CL in NC]

Noted the comment about the aurora buzz.  The fact that I have worked no one on 6 meter CW off the aurora, something I did the last time it reached this far south, indicates to me a lack of interest or knowledge of operating CW off the aurora and listening to those buzzy notes coming back.  The last aurora that was this far south was a couple decades ago, there was a solid overcast here, and there was plenty of activity on 6. The aurora is a reflector, you aim a 6 meter beam at it, call CQ, and work signals behind your beam.  From NC, I would work SC, GA, and FLA, plus some stations between me and to the North, but it was always a fun thing to do.  I don't know about digital modes, don't use them, but at one time CW was the only way to communicate when the aurora was active and just cool to do.
