[3830] Solar Storm, Aurora, Antennas NOT at YT

[J. Allen]

It is about 17:00 on Sunday.  I have been watching Ken operate.  He is
determined and calling stations time and hears and calls.  So far the Q
count is less than 300.  One station heard what he thought was a VE7 and
swung his beam this way.   His signal came up, and Ken thought a QSO might
be possible. When his chance came, Ken called several times but the station
op swung his antenna back east and west and missed Ken.

It is a shame that those of you that are serious about SS don't try put
extra effort in for YT when conditions are poor.  A solar storm means
Aurora, which in turn means ONE WAY propagation conditions.  WE ARE
THERE... WE HEAR YOU... We are very weak on your end of the circuit.   Try
a little harder.
