[Mldxcc] Fwd: WATCH: Geomagnetic Storm Category G2 Predicted

[Rick WA6NHC]

Vern,

On the road north from Flagstaff (93?) to the South rim turn, JUST 
beyond the turn (stay heading north, not as far as the tourist trap) on 
the EAST (right) side of the road, is a cabin on a trailer (really!).

Stop there!

Roasted meats (beef, LAMB, chicken), potatoes, chili peppers, corn on 
the cob and best of all FRY BREAD!  The full meal is $7.  She closes 
around 4:30 if not busy.

You'll want to say "Ah hyeh heh" for the meal (Dine, Navajo for thank you).

BEST fry bread in the region (second best was the Navajo omelet at 
Painted Desert and THAT was yummy).  The fry bread at the tourist trap 
(mostly imported junk) was 'adequate'.



Dave:  The bands may work, they may not.  It kind of depends on the 
band(s) you want to use and if you want DX.  It seems that when the high 
bands get clobbered, the low bands perk up (less noise mostly).

With a geomag storm happening about every three days anyway (A was at 70 
a week or so ago!), just go have a good time when you can.


Rick
