I had visible >Aurora at 0833Z here While the rest of you were playing with exotic modes on Monday evening I was listening to Christer SM6PXJ in QSO with Ron G6RO - around 2030-2100z if I remember right. Not only was it nice to here Ron after his sad news last week, but Christer was a steady 589, not much weaker than Ron, and the strongest I have ever heard him. They had an excellent chat and exchanged 589 reports and I think they were each surprised at how good signals were. Whether this is related to the auroral conditions I don't know. During the QSO Christer remarked that he might have been causing tvi, and as such couldn't stay to work Uli DJ9IE who called him afterwards. Uli was weaker than Christer, and I noticed that both he and F6BWO were their normal signals, so perhaps we were seeing an auroral path from SM. Perhaps Christer would like to comment - is this the first reported case of TVI on lf?? 73s Dave dsergeant@btinternet.com dsergeant@iee.org http://www.btinternet.com/~dsergeant
