As one of the low band operators going to Heard, I'm very
interested in the position of the SOUTHERN Auroral Oval.
http://holly.cc.uleth.ca/solar/www/aurora.html shows a VERY
nice hourly update on the NORTHERN Auroral Oval.....
Does anyone know where I can find the SOUTHERN Auroral Oval
depicted?
We will be near the edge of it....and if it varies as much as the
northern auroral oval varies, it could mean a good day (really
"night") on the low bands, or a bad day, if the oval extends over
us.
This might be something to check when planning to work us!
Also, right NOW is about the sunrise/sunset times at YOUR QTH when
you will be working us (I hope!) on 160! Better start planning a
later start at the office and leaving a little early in the
afternoon with the Heard Headache!
73!
