Aurora 29.-30.10.2003

 On 29-30 October we had chance working via the one of biggest Aurora during last 25 years. How it was in my QTH JN79GW you can see on this page. I do not have done so much QSOs like during 13.March 1989, but I was more focusing to find new locators to my collection and to 432MHz.

How was looking the eruption witch bring to us the Aurora show you can see on picture here. Click on the Sun for higher resolution. 
Here is the picture from "Big Night" and visual Aurora oval over the North pole
Graph witch show the best of time for working on 432MHz in my QTH. I had two maximums 3301 azimuth for G, GM and GI and 30°for DL, PA, OZ and UA
Magnetograph from Kiruna observatory witch show the maxim level -2500nT in the great time for 432MHz
Graph witch show the highest level of nT morning at 01:00 UTC
Magnetograph from Kiruna observatory for some time
Compare with magnetograph picture from 13/03/1989

 

And here are following tables with achieved QSOs. Thanks very much to all participants QSL cards I will send via bureau soon.

 

Used units?

 

144MHz - FT847 + LD Mos-fet driver, PA GS35B 1500W input - Ant. 18El.M2

432MHz - FT847 + LD Mos-fet driver, PA 2x3CPX800A7 - 1500W input - Ant. 38el.M2+ATF54143

 

QSOs worked by OK1DFC on 2 m.
