Just saw northern lights at 7:00 est in Ky (Lat 37, Long -84).

Red at first, then white. Some curtain effect.

In town, streetlights all around.

Radio seems normal.

This was my first time seeing aurora.


I live just south of Lexington and at our location it was much
brighter then last year. I tried to capture some pix with a digital
camera and it was a bust. So I dug out the old 35mm and tried some
time lapse.We had some good Last Sudnay and Tuesday(I think). I will
drop the film off today on the way home and hope to have some good
pix. If they are any good I will find a place to post them. A friend
who lives just north of Sadieville
(northen Scott county) had never seen the aurora before and thought
the sun
had "gone nova or somthing". My wife and I took our DX398s (we each
have one)
and there was no major effect on anything from 550KHz(WKRC Cinci, OH),
through
15MHz WWV. There did appear to be a lot of noise in the 10mtr (28MHZ)
ham band,
but I didn't feel like digging out my HTX100 and listening for skip.
The lights were to rare to miss. I would love to go to Alaska just to
see them "up close and personal".
