Just thinking about this a bit... perhaps Houston is too far south to take
advantage of auroral propagation. Fear not, however, as those in the more
southerly areas of the US could get their chance to hear signals bounced off
of the aurorae even where they are.

I don't have a 6 meter rig, but am considering getting one (or at least one
with 6 meters built in) for times such as these. I am only hearing of
increased activity on that band vicariously, through watching DX cluster
spots and now, via Howard. Nice to hear that you're getting some 6 meter
activity from where you are, Howard... let us know if you continue to catch
some good action on 6 in the states, or even further out...

Since the auroral height can range from about 50 to 200 miles, there
might be an active area on your northern horizon that can be used for
VHF propagation, even though you might not be seeing any aurora higher
up.
