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.

I am planning to be close to the radio on Sunday evening. I am hoping
that we get something this time. The CME should be Earth directed, and
I am hopeful. I will be monitoring 222 MHz. My 144 antenna and rig is
still not operational.

The Sky Weather website: Aurora Dashboard (Experimental) | NOAA /
NWS Space Weather Prediction Center is predicting K index levels >6
starting at 2100 UTC (5PM EDT) Sunday evening.
Might be worthwhile to check the bands instead of watching 60 Minutes
tomorrow.
