Hi Andy and readers,
"Why is it that during a contest..."
Had you been paying attention you would have known about the SME on
Wednesday or thereabouts. Look to the north, maybe you wondered what
those glowing curtains in the sky were. Yes, the aurora gave rise to some
interesting VHF backscatter, just point the beam north to work anywhere
to the south.
HF was pretty much blacked out, but always comes alive just after such an
event. The contest was coincidental, or the radio gods were smiling if
you prefer.
As for the contest, it brought the DX out of the woodwork, the bands were
hopping from 80 to 10. YUP! It sure brightens the old Amateur Radio
spirit, we're not dead yet! (only sleeping) That's why it pays to toss
out a CQ once in a while even if the band is dead, you never know what's
out there until you make yourself known.
