I've logged the station numerous times over the past year or two and am not even sure of its direction. Large magnetic storm of May 2-3 should have provided a lot of aurorae for those up north. I've yet to get a report for any 30-50 MHz DX via aurora (or any hi-band for that matter).

Remember that this column (and other reporting columns in the VUD) are primarily concerned with DX loggings. While all reports are welcomed, some of the semi-local material may be delayed in appearing during the heavier DX seasons. 73, Pat Signature, 1,689 bytes WA5IYX
