[Boatanchors] Bands may be dead this weekend

Hi Pete,
I worked IN, OH, VA, KY and MD on 6M CW from western NC. Had not worked Aurora mode since I was a kid in upstate NY- some 50+ years ago.

Right now (9 PM EDT 5/10/24) aurora is extending down into central U.S.
Covers all of New England, Middle Atlantic, all of Northern U.S. to the Pacific. And as far South as VA, Kansas, MO, and Kentucky.
