Hi Guys: Here is part 3 of my AURORA DX Report for the Time Period of Oct/25 to Oct/27. I am slowly working my way through the Recordings, and it seems every recording holds some nice DX. This Auroral opening was even better than it seemed at the time as I dig through the recordings and un-earth what was captured.
Mainly Florida, Georgia and Caribbean in this report. I still have lots of Recordings to review, so there should be a PART 4 and possibly a PART 5 to this Auroral Opening…….
