Aurora Propagation

There was a MASSIVE solar storm here today that resulted in some amazing Aurora Propagation on 50Mhz.

Here is a pic of the Sun showing the sunspot responsible:




Here is an audio recording of W8IF that I head on 50.155 at about 0014 UTC: click here.

The approximate distance of W8IF from my home QTH is 1000 kms!

I was using my Ft-847 for a radio with a G5RV jr antenna to receive this signal. He peaked at about 55a on this antenna. WOW!

Here is a pic from Dxers.info showing the 50Mhz spots in the last hour:
