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.

you can here the aurora effect on 80...the band is broke..

Major aurora here in Winnipeg MB Canada. sky is full 360 degrees but
best to South and East
Has wiped out the AM band

SUBJ: IPS DAILY SOLAR AND GEOPHYSICAL REPORT
ISSUED AT 07/2330Z NOVEMBER 2004 BY IPS RADIO AND SPACE SERVICES
FROM THE AUSTRALIAN SPACE FORECAST CENTRE
SUMMARY FOR 07 NOVEMBER AND FORECAST FOR 08 NOVEMBER - 10 NOVEMBER
STATUS INDICATORS SOL:** RED ** MAG:** RED ** ION: ** RED **
-----------------------------------------------------------
1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 07 Nov: High

Flares Max Fadeout Freq. Sectors
X2.0 1606UT probable all South American/
Atlantic
Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 07 Nov: 130/84


1B. SOLAR FORECAST
08 Nov 09 Nov 10 Nov
Activity Moderate to high Moderate to high Moderate
Fadeouts Probable Probable Possible
10.7cm/SSN 125/78 125/78 120/72
COMMENT: Solar activity over the last 24 hours was High, with
region 696 producing many C-Class events and a X2.0 Class event
at 1545UT. Lasco C3 imagery for the 7th of November is not
available
to confirm a CME. An associated proton event is currently in
progress arising from the X2-Class event. Region 696 remains
quite large in sunspot size and retains a level of magnetic
compexity
that suggests further C and M-Class events are possible. A shock
front from a CME from the 03Nov or 04Nov was observed and has
resulted in Major Geomagnetic Storm conditons. At 1000UT the
solar wind velocity increased by 50km/s and began to steadily
rise from 430km/s to 500km/s at 1755UT at which it then rose
sharply to be at 700km/s at the time of this report. Simarly
the north south component of the interplanetary magentic field
Bz, indicated the shock arrivals with step impulse changes in
its magnitude of 20nT at 1755UT after which it turned southwards
to be -40nT at the time of this report. The magentometer on the
GOES satellite indicated a probable Geo-synchronous crossing
of the magnetosphere exposing it to the solar wind stream as
seen in its recorded data. There also appears to be another region
significant region approaching the southeast limb that should
roate on disc within the next few days.
A possible weak shock was observed in the solar wind at 0153UT
on 07 Nov, and a possible weak shock was observed in the solar
wind at 0958UT on 07 Nov, and a strong shock was observed in
the solar wind at 1754UT on 07 Nov.
-----------------------------------------------------------

COMMENT: IPS Geomagnetic Warning 29 was issued on 7 November
and is current for interval 8-10 November. Geomagnetic activity
was Quiet to Major Storm levels over the last 24 hours.A shock
arival from a CME on 03/04 November has resulted in the current
storm conditions. There is also a proton event curently taking
place from a X2-Class event that occured at 1545UT. Storm
conditions
are expected to continue for the next 24-36 hours after which
another shock front arrival could occur if a full halo CME was
produced from the X2-Class event today (LASCO C3 imagery wasnt
available to confirm this).
A weak (33nT) impulse was observed in the IPS magnetometer data
at 1053UT on 07 Nov.

3A. GLOBAL HF PROPAGATION SUMMARY
Latitude Band
Date Low Middle High
07 Nov Normal-fair Normal-fair Normal-fair
PCA Event : 10Mev Proton/PCA Event Began 07 11 2004 1915UT and is
in progress

3B. GLOBAL HF PROPAGATION FORECAST

Date Low Middle High
08 Nov Poor Poor Poor(PCA)
09 Nov Poor Poor Poor
10 Nov Fair Fair Fair-Poor
COMMENT: HF conditions expected to be depressed for the next
24-36 hours due to the current geomagnetic storm conditions.

Too foggy here in Calgary, AB, Canada to see any Aurora's, but everything
is dead down to 1 mhz. Occasional reception of 710 KIRO from Seattle.

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.

We're still up the road from you (Ava), and we went out a couple of
times, but saw nothing.
I ended up hearing only 3 or 4 sw stations last night, and none very
well.

The Northern Lights were fantastic in Northern MN last night. Was packing up
deer camp and ended up watching the sky for over an hour. MW reception was
really bad all weekend.
