[VHFcontesting] Possible Aurora Sunday night

[Paul N1BUG FN55mf]

The CME arrived overnight. That is a bit early for Sunday evening aurora 
but I am hopeful we will enter the main phase of the storm with 
southward Bz and it will hold on long enough for at least the late 
afternoon aurora session. I will be around checking from about 3 PM 
onward. My 2m antenna is still broken in half (this may never get fixed) 
but I would love to get some aurora QSOs on 222 where I have 800 watts 
and a K1FO-22 at 115 feet. I still only have 25 watts on 432 despite 
having a BIG amp sitting in the other room waiting on me to be able to 
check it out and get it operational.

73,

Paul, N1BUG FN55mf
