Good Evening,
The snow level is still one thousand feet above me. The first frost
arrived early this week. Chilly, wet, and foggy. I spent the week
reviewing the fundamental theorem of programming: "Computers only do
what you tell them to do, not what you want them to do." You would
think I would learn.
The sun has been, and still is, active. A CME is on its way, due
sometime Monday. The flare did affect the HF bands, solar flux has
risen to 92. The ionosphere should be ringing from the impact. I don't
know how rapidly that damps out. How strong is the restoring force in
the magnetic field? In any case, I expect QSB to have a fast flutter
along with slow waves. Soon the second net and local sunset will
coincide. Propagation will change quickly.
Please join us on (or near):
14050 kHz at 2200z Sunday (3 PM PDT Sunday)
7047 kHz at 0000z Monday (5 PM PDT Sunday)
73,
Kevin. KD5ONS

Bernard: Those Northern Lights are some kind of weird psychic, something?
Chris: Yeah.
Bernard: What causes them to do that?
Chris: Well, this is just my guess, but I think that high speed
electrons and protons from the sun are trapped in the van Allen
radiation belt. Then they're channeled through the Polar Regions by the
earth's magnetic field where they collide with other particles and
create a brilliant luminosity.
Bernard: What does that have to do with us?
Chris: I swear man, I don't know.
