In reply to G4OWG:

There must be a lot of people on SOTAwatch accessing that web page because their server has fallen off the web! :wink:

In reply to MM0FMF:
It appears so Andy - anyway the magnetometers were showing maximum deflection about 11:00z so there MIGHT be some auroral propagation imminent.

http://www.dcs.lancs.ac.uk/iono/aurorawatch/rt_activity/ is the URL but it is not working at moment.

ps I deleted original post before I realised you had replied.

In reply to MM0FMF:

There seems to be some tropo in 2 m here in Switzerland now. My weather station packets are relayed again to internet even without the Geneva digipeater. The current map

http://www.mountainlake.k12.mn.us/ham/aprs/path.cgi?map=eu

seems to agree with the prediction

Looks good for F, EA and I.

In reply to F5VGL:

2m seemed to be wide open last night: scanning around on the dual bander in the car/mobile whip before the start of the 6m activity contest many of the French repeaters were very strong at the top end of IO93 s7-s9. Shame we didn’t pack the 2m yagi.

In reply to M0SGB:
Thats the one mentioned above Steve - I’m beginning to think that the e-mail alert may have been triggered by a computer fault as the AuroraWatch site crashed and has been coming and going all afternoon. The graph is now back and seems to support this. Apart from a large blip everything is normal.
http://portal.cssdp.ca:8080/ssdp/static_content/ssdp/rt_oval/index.html is not showing anything spectacular :frowning:

In reply to G4OWG:

Spaceweather.com shows an enhancement of the auroral oval but it is only likely to lead to weak “Scottish-type” auroras.

i recieved another e-mail from the auror watch team yesterday,

We are very sorry for today’s false alert which was due to man-made
disturbance at our Lancaster field site.

Regards,
the AuroraWatch team.
