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. |

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". Terry |

I wasn't able to see any auroral activity in SW Missouri, but I sure heard the
effects of it. MW was warbly, nearly usless for all but the strongest signals (and even they exhibited some minor warbling, which they never do otherwise) and most of SW was gone. Kept trying to see if there was light in the sky, but never saw any. Interesting though. Haven't experienced one like this before. Linus |
