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

[Rick WA6NHC]

I was 6 of those contacts too!

Not giving up, but it could be better...

Besides, there can be fun on the low bands when the K is high, how else 
could I work AF on 80M the last storm?  I'll do my usual S&P DXing.

HNY,
Rick

> 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.
