An intereting paper. I downloaded the PDF from the Nature site, where of 
course you can see the graphs and pictures.

It does give some credability to the people like Rich who has said he 
has observed non-linear change in received signal as the transmitter 
power is adjusted. I'm still highly suspicous of Rich's claims, but are 
a little less inclined to totally dismiss them now.

Clearly if the  could visually affect the aurora, it is possible it 
would have had some change on its radio properties.
