The aurora does more than just make pretty lights in the sky; it can bend radio waves back to the earth as auroral propagation.<\/p>\n

Since the aurora borealis occurs over northern Canada, two stations in the continental U.S. must each point their antennas to the north to use this mode.<\/p>\n

With aurora there is a great deal of signal flutter. Phone tends to get garbled. CW is the most effective mode. <\/p>\n
