[VHFcontesting] [222Activity] Aurora on 6m FN13ce

[Paul N1BUG FN55mf]

Aaargh!!!!!!
I missed another one!!! I am so completely, utterly frustrated. About 
2:00 local time this afternoon I just could not continue to function. I 
was so totally exhausted I was literally stumbling and had to give up 
and take a nap. I woke up at 6:00 to discover there HAD been aurora but 
now the interplanetary magnetic field orientation has turned northward, 
cutting it off. I hear no sign of beacons or anything else even on 50 MHz.
Aaargh!

Anybody want to buy a complete 50-432 MHz station? I'm kidding! I think.

Hopefully the IMF will turn southward later during the main phase of the 
storm but the late evening aurora session is rarely much good here.
