I have received reports of significant 2m auroral activity today via the
local VHF DX list.  As the geomagnetic storm hit early in our morning, I
haven't yet had a chance to work the conditions or attempt a visual
ovservation.

Well, I'm only at 37 degrees (South), but can work RS-13 until it gets past
60 degrees.

This I have to see!  Wonder if it will affect tonight's SO-35 and UO-14
signals.

I'm keeping an eye on http://www.spaceweather.com.  I also am on the space
news mailing list, so get space weather information emailed to me if
anything looks significant.
