Jim et All;

Aurora was very active last night we had very "showy" visual aurora display
for several hours here in east central Wisconsin last night from 0200Z till
I went to bed around 0500Z. Could hear nothing here on 160 from EU. Lots of
short hop stuff on 80, 40 and 30 with very strong auroral flutter was my
clue to go out a look at the "show".
