Topband: 160 meter long openings - and what it looks like in the sky - de DK7PE

[K1FZ-Bruce]

Hi Rudi,

Thank you, we are getting a better understanding for this event.   Energy  occupying  the smallest diameter space at the start  should be the highest.

Hi Bruce,


nitrogen needs high energy to iluminate red/olive. To me it was interesting to see the red on the bottom of the green arrows. Normaly they are above green (300kms).

Hi Rudi,

Looking at your pictures, I believe the start of electron loss is at earth level, then getting wider as they are pulled away from earth.

The original thinking was the opposite.

Hi Bruce,


I red about your comments on long 160m openings. By chance I was at the polar circle during the latest solar storm two weeks ago.  I have been up there quite a few times during the past two years chasing polar lights but never experienced such an intensity of Aurora Borealis. Here are some pictures I took March 5th to 7th. It was a Kp Index of 5.3 - not bad for 2017. By the way, when I was in TN0CW and TL0CW I experienced outstanding 160m openigs to W6/W7. Later I heard that was solar storms as well... A very interesting phemon.



Good DX on 160m!
