Beacon -NOT
Good morning,
There is no signal from the beacon here on Radio Ridge, Electron Acres this morning. A geomagnetic event report was posted yesterday from NOAA. Here is the text:
Space Weather Message Code: ALTK06
Serial Number: 455
Issue Time: 2017 Nov 07 1924 UTC
ALERT: Geomagnetic K-index of 6
Threshold Reached: 2017 Nov 07 1921 UTC
Synoptic Period: 1800-2100 UTC
Active Warning: Yes
NOAA Scale: G2 - Moderate
NOAA Space Weather Scale descriptions can be found at
www.swpc.noaa.gov/noaa-scales-explanation http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/noaa-scales-explanation
Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 55 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude.
Induced Currents - Power grid fluctuations can occur. High-latitude power systems may experience voltage alarms.
Spacecraft - Satellite orientation irregularities may occur; increased drag on low Earth-orbit satellites is possible.
Radio - HF (high frequency) radio propagation can fade at higher latitudes.
Aurora - Aurora may be seen as low as New York to Wisconsin to Washington state.
K8TQK said this morning that he did not hear any Aurora last night. This makes sense in light of the last statement in the NOAA bulletin.
I did check my system by turning on a signal generator and putting my stub antenna on it. Everything seems to be working.
I still have an SWR that is two high for my amplifier. I fear I have finally reached the point that there are too many antenna, too closely packed on my tower. I will do some thinking about that.
Stay warm — 73.
Dave, K4TO
Dave...
thanks for the report!

There was some 6 meter aurora last night on 6 aka DX Maps postings. Albeit all north of here.
