[CQ-Contest] Geo-Magnetic Storm

[Robert McGwier]

Bands?  What bands?  Oh,  you mean that hiss that allows you to
talk to anyone who is groundwave ?

;-(.

The current prediction for tomorrow is strong geomagnetic storm,
with regular HF outages lasting tens of minutes (G3 and R2).

The current flux is 183.  That is pretty high for this time in
the SS cycle.  The A and K are low but should start to rise.

I heard something on the news about a geo-magnetic storm hitting the
earth tomorrow.  Has anyone heard any more on this?  If it is true, does
anyone know what impact it will have on the bands this week-end?
