[Fourlanders] Fw: [VHF] The Great Auroral Storm of 1859

[Jim Worsham]

A very interesting article.  Unfortunately it looks like none of us will 
live to ever see anything even approaching this level of solar activity. 
Imagine what 6 and 2 meters would have been like.  Aurora as high as 222 and 
even 432 might have been possible.
