Its Not Your Radio - Severe Geomagnetic Storm

If anyone is thinking their radio is acting up... it's not. This is the worst storm I have ever seen.  All bands are in terrible shape and I have never seen an S9+ noise floor.

You made me curious so I started my SDRplay and took a look at HF. Yes it's bad! Did find a little on 40 meters NVIS but not much else.

How long will this solar interference last?

It's already over. They don't typically last that long.

Well, it may be bad for radio, but the view of the Aurora Borealis in the Virginia mountains is pretty dang awesome.  Second time this year, too.

Yes beautiful! Thanks for posting those. Nice photography also Marc. I like the composition of the last one. Looks like you used a tripod and long exposure. Very nice. I need to get out and do some photography. It's been a while.

I appreciate it... The photos where taken by Sam Norton.  He is very talented, for sure.  Most of my work is videography, but a do shoot some occasional stills.
