[Boatanchors] Bands may be dead this weekend

[manualman at juno.com]

I've done 6 meter aurora on both CW and SSB a number of times.  But
tonight I'm playing on 2 meters CW aurora.
CW through aurora has really no tone. It's sounds like shuffling your
feet on a sawdust floor.
Note: sometimes, if you're lucky, you can get a combo propagation of
Sporadic E and Aurora. That's cool stuff. Since everyone playing with the
aurora and all have their beams pointed North, sometimes you can work
stations on back scatter.
