I1JTQ - Aurora Propagation Page

Turin City is situated at 45° Lat. North and 7° Long. East, surrounded by Alps (in North direction We have 4500 mt. mountains high, 80km far), then is almost impossible have usual VHF propagation via Polar Auroras. Anyway, since 1979 I've worked 15 different Aurora's opening from here, the last one in November 2003.

A good opening was in 1991, In that case Aurora was also visible from here; below You can see a photograph taken from JN35st (Aosta Valley) at 1900 m.a.s.l, the 9th of November 1991 at 01.10 UTC (I was in QSO with PA3BZO, antenna QTF 355 deg.).
