[CQ-Contest] CQ WW Phone 2000 solar dispatch

[KL7RA Fairbanks, Alaska]

SEATTLE, WA, Nov 3, 2000--Solar activity was up for the past week.
> During the CQ Worldwide DX Phone Contest, geomagnetic activity rose
> through the weekend, reaching storm levels on Sunday. Both the
> mid-latitude and planetary K indices reached five, and the A indices
> were 24 and 26 respectively. The Alaskan College K index, which is
> higher during high geomagnetic activity due to its high latitude, was
> six over two periods and the A index was 41 for Sunday, indicating a
> severe geomagnetic storm. No doubt contest operators in Fairbanks
> experienced dead HF conditions.

Not a problem here in Fairbanks, we did the first multi-multi CQWW
24 hour contest. Someday they all will be 24 hours, and we were first.
