[Boatanchors] big sun storm

[manualman at juno.com]

Yep, there were several contacts that disappeared into the auroral noise
but did manage several contacts on 6 meter SSB. Even tried 6 meter AM but
the AM stuff was only running low power and the antenna was only a
temporary 3 element beam. The 7 element long boom yagi won't be back up
till later in the Spring. All the rest of the contacts and on the other
bands were done on CW.

9:00 PM to bed?? I just start coming alive after 9 PM. I do my best stuff
after the sun goes down.
