We usually don't see them here with all the ungodly light pollution... I'm
just north of downtown St. Paul, MN and the aurora borealis are very bright
to the north, east, west and overhead. Sheets of green and even red.
Haunting and beautiful! The lower SW bands are "hissy" and otherwise pretty
quiet where I am at...

About half the stations such as Radio Moscow sound like they are under
water. A lot of stations with fluctuating signal levels tonight.

I'm glad I read this post, because I suspected something was going on that was
affecting DX this evening. I was having trouble even getting WWV on any
frequency! My shack is in the midwest also, located in the suburbs of Chicago.
I think I'll just shut down the receivers, and poke my head outside, to see if
I can catch "The Lights". Good DXing to you, Gary
