[IRCA] Auroral Fun

[Barry McLarnon <bdm@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Considering the interesting stuff going on in the ionosphere the past two 
days, I'm amazed how quiet these lists have been - isn't anybody listening?

The auroral conditions are subsiding now, but there are still lots of 
excellent Latin American signals tonight - Cubans everywhere, Colombia like a 
local on 760, destroying WJR, R. Coro Venezuela on top of 780, and many more.  
Loads of unid stations, some with large frequency offsets, putting loud hets 
on their channels.  A highlight was finding R. Catolica Nicaragua nearly 
alone on 720... here's a clip, recorded about half an hour ago:

Last night, ZNS made a rare appearance here on 1540, and I had several new 
domestic catches from NC/SC/FL.  Auroras are very cool, and although this 
wasn't a monster one, it's the best I've observed here since 2006.
