Hi Rudi,
Thank you, we are getting a better understanding for this event. Energy occupying the smallest diameter space at the start should be the highest. 73 Bruce-K1FZ -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Aw: Re: Topband: 160 meter long openings - and what it looks like in the sky - de DK7PE Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2017 16:36:00 +0100 From: "Rudolf Klos" To: k...@myfairpoint.net Hi Bruce, nitrogen needs high energy to iluminate red/olive. To me it was interesting to see the red on the bottom of the green arrows. Normaly they are above green (300kms). 73s Rudi Gesendet: Donnerstag, 23.

The original thinking was the opposite. 73 Bruce-k1fz On Tue, 21 Mar 2017 20:27:33 +0100, "Rudolf Klos" wrote: Hi Bruce, I red about your comments on long 160m openings. By chance I was at the polar circle during the latest solar storm two weeks ago. I have been up there quite a few times during the past two years chasing polar lights but never experienced such an intensity of Aurora Borealis. Here are some pictures I took March 5th to 7th. It was a Kp Index of 5.3 - not bad for 2017. By the way, when I was in TN0CW and TL0CW I experienced outstanding 160m openigs to W6/W7. Later I heard that was solar storms as well... A very interesting phemon. Good DX on 160m! 73s Rudi DK7PE/EA8 _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
