We had another short-lived but intense Aurora opening this afternoon/early evening. Signals were very strong, SM4IVE was peaking 59A+20! It didn’t extend much south but nevertheless always enjoyable to work those other VHF enthusiasts. 😉

Being local I used our IC-7400 dedicated to 2 m, a smoothly run GS35 amp and our trusty 10 ele DK7ZB Yagi at 21 m above the ground (top-most antenna on the big chimney in the photo on top of this page).
