[NLRS] 2m today

Wed Jul 14 20:25:18 EDT 2021

Been a while, need some flares.  6M AU was fairly regular... has been on the outs for a decade....

Iv worked AU CW up to 432... very rough copy and weak...  222 was pretty common when it was a good one.. just needed ops to be on and going.  2m was popular for sure.  6M on a good flare was a zoo.... 😊

Speaking of Aurora (not our conference, the buzzy stuff) - when is the last time anyone remembers having Aurora propagation on 6m?  I think it’s been a couple of years.  Does it happen on 2m or higher?
