Aurora


Worked VE4TTH, Peter in Manitoba, his signal would smear across the waterfall and fade S-9 to  S-2 in a matter of seconds some times with sidebands 400hz wide. Then he tells me he has the Northern Lights at his qth bright enough to light up the ground.


 I've heard auroral buzz and fade on fone on transpolar and 6 meter aurora propagation but its the first time I've seen it. Eyeballed it a couple of times in the North Pacific in my sailor days-damn that was a long time ago.
