Re: [amsat-bb] any solar storm updates

[James Clay French KD4DLA <kd4kla@xxxxxxxx>]

I heard reports here in Detroit on the local repeaters that there was an
active aurora
display last night (July 16th 0300 - 0430z) that could be seen even
through the inner
city lights. Also, there were reports of good 6m and 2m SSB/CW being
heard.

Would have loved to see that lunar eclipse. Last one I saw was back in
1975(?) down in
Naples, FL...:(
