[Lowfer] Aurora

[WE0H]

Thanks Mitch. It is really soggy here now, as it has been raining for
several days and nights. The band will let loose one of these days and I
will be looking at a clean ID on your captures.

Hi: I'm listening - but Mother Nature sure has put a damper on things.
Looks like a great big "sky sponge" has taken over - everything is many
dB down - and saw only one small "slant" and nothing else over a 6 hour
period.
Was in the High Arctic (1953-56) 78 deg N, and we could always see the
Aurora to the South of us.... we would have total radio blackouts for 5 to 6
days - absolutely nothing. First reaction was to check all the antenna
connections - but it was just the Aurora.
I'm checking all the connections now, and will continue to look for WE.
