Content preview: Beacon away Stefan -:-) Im looking at HF conditions over the Pole, QRSS snapper at http://kl7uk.com/Alaska.html and I can normally very roughly scale these for LF/MF - ie "when its not good on any HF band to Eu its likely that MF or LF will be worse syndrome" - this only holds for here.... At the moment Im seeing only weak signals with some spreading at 10MHz with that lovelyfast doppler sound which again isnt a good sign - and thats with a K=1 at mid lat. I didnt see any Aurora last night as I was fixing up my 8 inch Meade telescope but had difficulty in looking at anything as the water vapor from my eye condensed and froze onto the viewfinder. Takes me back a few years when we were still using Sextants for Polar travel - The nice thing is the gear is not all moved into the office and I can sit in comfort and not freezing my Annulus off.
