I did point the beam (7 el @ 40') towards the North right after hearing that but never heard anymore of it. It was there for only about 5 to 10 seconds. Not even long enough to really copy anything but a couple of letters. 

Joey, I'd ship you the amp but then you'd have to pay for the shipping and find a place to put it and then you'd need a better antenna to go with it, yada, yada, yada. According to my wife and step-daughter, you must accessorize with any new 'outfit', so look how much trouble and expense that would cost you. I wouldn't do that to a fellow SixClub member!!

That was Au Gene
To maximize your chances when you hear stuff like that
Turn your beam north and switch to CW the perferred mode for Au

Heard a  short burst of what I assume was aurora night before last on CW. 
Very wavering  sound with lots of QSB. Definitely different than Es for sure. 
Small Es  opening last nite but nothing to write home about. Main into 
Texas from here.  Sometimes I think my coax is run all the way to TX as I seem 
to be able to  work TX when nothing else is around. Yeah Joey, even without 
the amp  :)
