Hi Guys: The past few Nights have been great for Auroral DX on the AM BCB!!!! Conditions to the South have been superb with lots of Deep South Stations being heard as far as South America. Although I haven't had a lot of time to review the ELAD Files, I have managed to hear 11 NEW Stations, also some CALL LETTER Changes and some other interesting RELOGS. I still have a lot of Captures to review from the event, but I wanted to get some of these logs out while they were still current. I am confident there will be LOTS more DX to be pulled from the remaining Captures.
So here is Part One of the Auroral DX Catches…………with LOTS more to follow. MERRY CHRISTMAS Everyone!!!!
