[Mldxcc] Fwd: WARNING: Geomagnetic K-index of 6 (G2)

[Steve Dyer]

At TX3X we had some of the worst conditions in recent memory during a DXpedition. The K never fell below 4 the entire 10 days we were QRV and yet we made over 50,000 QSO's! There was always a band open somewhere. The bands will surprise you with some really unusual openings when the K is high too, especially the high bands.
Don't give up. Get on and CQ, you might be very surprised.

  Good bye contest!  A K of 6 that will pretty much shut things down, but the low bands may work better.
 
 HNY,

Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 55 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude.
Induced Currents - Power grid fluctuations can occur. High-latitude power systems may experience voltage alarms.
Spacecraft - Satellite orientation irregularities may occur; increased drag on low Earth-orbit satellites is possible.
Radio - HF (high frequency) radio propagation can fade at higher latitudes.
Aurora - Aurora may be seen as low as New York to Wisconsin to Washington state.
