Hello All
 Not much solar activity going on but I put an aurora beacon on the air
anyway. At least we might get some coronal hole activity.
 The beacon is on 50.046.5. 25w into a M2 11el yagi pointed North. About
16dbi gain making around 600W ERP.
 I will have the beacon running most of the time when I'm not using the
antenna on 6 for other purposes.
 When warmer weather gets here I am going to put up a 6 El Force12 as the
dedicated Aurora beacon .
 As E season approaches I probably will be pointing the antenna into Europe
and Asia depending on what the propagation does.
 Give a listen and if you want you can send me a report. I am good on QRZ
