Rex VK7MO, Dr. Andrew Klekocuik (AAD), and Richard VK7ZBX took us through a fascinating presentation on their experimentation during the recent space weather event.
00:02:25 - Introductions by Rex VK7MO
00:03:20 - Spectacular Auroral Propagation - photos
00:05:30 - Prediction of a space weather event
00:06:08 - SunSpot - equivalent size to the Carrington Event sunspot
00:08:40 - NOAA Forecasts and predictions process
00:11:04 - NOAA and Australian Region forecasts - level 9 once a solar cycle - A Index
00:13:20 - hp30 index - magnetic field deviation
00:15:10 - 2m Station heard and worked
00:17:00 - Richard VK7ZBX's experiences
00:20:02 - 6m Stations heard and worked including ZL - Auroral-Es
00:22:50 - Explanation of Auroral-Es
00:25:10 - Dr. Andrew's All-Sky camera keograms and charts
00:30:43 - Andrew's All-Sky Camera movie
00:32:40 - Auroral Oval - NOAA
00:35:00 - Movie of the Auroral Oval
00:35:10 - VK2DO contact including audio recordings
00:40:10 - Contact with Brodie VK3MAP
00:41:25 - Shifting down 500Hz to continue copying after magnetic midnight
00:43:43 - Plot of all the Doppler shift from all recordings on same chart
00:49:26 - Pseudo Doppler
00:50:20 - Doppler shift on 2 and 6m comparison
00:53:05 - Beaming to ZL - no Doppler shift = Auroral-Es
00:55:53 - Ionosonde from Perth.
00:57:20 - Audio Recordings showing difference with Auroral-Es
00:59:30 - Conclusion (1)
01:00:20 - Conclusion (2)
01:00:55 - Conclusion (3) - Q65-15C parameters
01:05:05 - Final picture and comments
Magnetic Midnight Calculator - Put in your geographic latitude and longitude, click on the ‘MLT in UT (hours)’ checkbox and hit submit, and you will get a profile of magnetic latitude and longitude, and the UT time of magnetic midnight as a function of altitude from 100 to 1000 km. omniweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/vitmo/c...
