I wanted to add: When the aurora conditions were so bad that it was like having your receiver not plugged in, and I constantly monitored because of being at the North Pole, it was always exciting to hear a signal somewhere but unreadable, and then see It come up little by little and WOW! There it was. Music to your ears.

FACT - not a typo! ========== When I lived in Michigan (closer to the magnetic north pole than Alaska), the aurora didn't make a hoot of difference on HF between SSB and CW -- weak CW was still easier to copy than weak SSB. As for propagation via aurora on VHF, the difference was startling. The rapid doppler shift rendered SSB signals unreadable while CW signals were still quite readable despite the buzz saw sound of their signals. 73, de Earl, K6SE _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
