[GCARC] Northern lights? HF radio effects on Saturday?

[harry.bryant]

As Allen said, this is quite rare. A great way to pick up grids a long way out on 2 meters. Last time was in 2005. I believe a number of us worked 2m out in to Iowa and points between. and we'll in to Canada.I'm currently in Indiana with family so sadly, I do not have any equipment with me.73Harry - AA2WNSent via the Samsung Galaxy S22 5G, an AT&T 5G smartphone
