[NZ4O Spaceweather] Geomagnetic Storming/6 Meters

[Thomas F. Giella NZ4O]

In the past twelve hours the ongoing geomagnetic storm grew stronger. At 
high latitudes the Kp reached a 6, which is moderate geomagnetic storming, 
with mid latitudes reaching a Kp of 5, which is minor geomagnetic storming.

Some aurora E propagation has occurred north of approximately 38 deg north 
on 6 meters.
