[VHFcontesting] Aurora possible in Jan. 2009 VHF Sweeps

[jon jones]

All:
 
AURORA WATCH: A solar wind stream is heading toward Earth, due to arrive on Jan. 17th or 18th.
(from Spaceweather.com)
 
This could potentially cause some auroral openings on the VHF bands in the contest.
 
I plan to be QRV on 50, 144 and 432 MHz from EM18 in east-central KS in the single op
(QRP) portable category.
 
Good luck to all.
