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

[Rick Bates (WA6NHC)]

If this hits, there goes the DX...  Get what you can earlier instead of later. 

A K of 2 is bad, 6 means only the lowest bands (160/80) are fun. 

Northern lights are possible in the higher latitudes.  That's at least cool.
