[RTTY] Bartg Spring Propagation

[Jerry Pixton]

Now I can stop worrying about my antennas after reading this weeks
propagation report about last weekends BARTG Spring.

All our propagation was blown away -

....

Unfortunately for HF operators, the average geomagnetic numbers
doubled as well. This and the associated aurora were triggered by a
solar wind stream that hit Earth beginning on Saturday, March 18.
Maximal effects were felt the following day, when the College A
index, (measured less than two degrees latitude south of the Arctic
Circle), rose to 51 on Sunday.

Saturday's College A index was 39, but on Friday, March 17 it was
only 2, a very quiet number. The Planetary A index over those same
days was 3, 26 and 37, and the mid-latitude A index was 2, 15 and
24.
