Title: W1MPY and KB1NFS battle the aurora borealis... Post by: W1AEX on April 24, 2012, 01:25:44 PM The heavy warbling effects of Aurora Borealis were very evident last night (4-23-2012) on 75 meters as Bill - W1MPY and Clark - KB1NFS battled the flutter. The solar indices as reported by NOAA at the time were:

Post by: K3YA on April 24, 2012, 04:50:04 PM It was a wild sounding evening on 75 yesterday. I was listening in when you made the recording, Rob, and the aurora flutter was only slightly less severe down in the Washington DC area. I remember this as a common occurrence on 75M in past sunspot cycle peaks, but haven't heard it like that in quite a while.
On an unrelated topic, how can Clark use so many words to say so little in the recording? Title: Re: W1MPY and KB1NFS battle the aurora borealis... Post by: Pete, WA2CWA on April 24, 2012, 05:49:24 PM The aurora should be around tonight also. Stations in Europe are working the aurora now on 6 meters, and as you can see from my previous post above, the higher intensity aurora should be over North America in a few hours.
