[NLRS] AU?

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

I heard Rex on 2m aurora for hours. It wasn't so strong here and he 
never admitted hearing me.

The latest 6m antenna is oriented wrong for most aurora and too close to 
the rig. All day Saturday the automatic tuner kept wanting to retune 
during a transmission, until late I figured out that since it used 
latching relays that once it was tuned it didn't need power but by then 
the band was about to close.

I heard ZQ on aurora too. I tried.

70cm contacts were tough even at 50 miles.

73, Jerry, K0CQ
