Hi Guys:
Well........last night's Auroral conditions were some of the weirdest
conditions I've experienced in many DX Seasons!! The evening started out at
Sunset with Semi-Locals blasting in but little heard past that. Then around
2000 edt I noticed that I was hearing LONG Stuff and everything else had faded
out...including the 50 KW Blowtorches...Nothing from Detroit, Cleveland,
Pittsburgh. New York, Chicago etc was being heard at all!!! However...while all
of this was happening, I had SOLID Local Like reception of a 1 KW Graveyarder
from New Smyrna Beach, FLORIDA @ a distance of 960 Miles!! This was my first
Florida Graveyarder in over 35 Years of DXing!! This station was heard
Continually, with No Fading for almost 2 Hours!!! Usually I'm lucky to get a 10
Second Fade up from a Graveyarder....this was in for 2 hours!! I also had a
Relog from Miami on 910 that was heard for a while, when the entire Band was
dead except for the 2 Florida Stations.
Then around 0000 est, the band opened up to SOUTH AMERICA and went crazy!!
I logged lots of stuff that was just IN/OUT and mixing with other Spanish
Stations, making it hard to pull out details, but there was a definite good
opening to South America going on!! Venezuela seemed to be favoured here.
As a result I logged 2 New Stations from Venezuela, along with a 3rd New One
from Florida.
RADIO USED...............SONY SRF-T615 Ultralight BAREFOOT
ULR LOG TOTALS are now..................1003 Stations Heard
