OK, I read too many books. Most of the QRP DX "experts" (there's that word 
again) say, 'When trying to work a DXpedition, it's often easier to work 
toward the end of the expedition, after all the KW big guns have worked him."

Hey, makes sense, right?

So I started on VK9ML on Thursday evening.

What they didn't say is, "The above advice is null and void if you have 2 Sun 
Farts* in a row, bringing the A Index over 40 for 4 days!!"



*Sun Fart: Highly Technical term for a Coronal Mass Ejection. Actually 
strictly speaking, incorrect, since the Coronal Mass WAS ejected, making it 
technically a Sun Poop, not a Sun Fart. I'll leave that to the PHDs.
