Topband: 160 meter long openings

[K1FZ-Bruce]

Thanks for your input also.
Not limited events, my observations have been for ~17  years on 160 meters,   and  ~ 30 years working a sked with VK6LK on 75 meters.  Agree  there are varying parameters.
An opening on 80 meters does not guarantee a  160 meter opening. that is well known.
Observations come more from  an 160 meter opening and asking myself "what just happened "? ,   in the world, and solar system ?
Openings are not  the same world wide.  But we especially  like the ones that give us new countries.

Bruce,Thanks, interesting new info on a very complex subject. Every storm is different. Must use caution with observations from limited events.Rules of physics always the same everywhere but every CME comes with its own differing parameters with respect to the particular conditions and orientation of the geomagnetic field over the course of the event.
I'm sure, nothing you didn't know very well but I have been working with GMD/GIC recently and couldn't help but comment. No claim to be an expert.Bruce-W8RA

My observation are that long 160 meter openings take place at the start of auroras then diminish.

This may be why.
