Sky watchers, especially those living above geomagnetic latitude 50 degrees, should watch for Northern Lights after sunset. (The best time to spot auroras is usually around local midnight.) The interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) near Earth turned sharply south as the CME disturbance passed our planet. South-pointing IMFs often intensify geomagnetic activity, which makes this event a promising one to watch. Visit spaceweather.com for details and updates. -------------------------------------------------------- The result shows as a Kp of 5 for 6 hours (1500 -2100z) today (Thursday), this should not be too long lived and will probably not show its RF effects before Saturday night. Maybe it will enhace daytime levels for the HF Convention station during the daytime Sunday. So if you dont work them on Saturday, then Sunday might be better. It should be in evidence depressing levels by Sunday night. Cheers de Alan G3NYK alan.melia@btinternet.com
