Possible Northern Lights Tonight

From Sweden

Since the clouds seem to be winning out in New Eng tonight, here is a live cam from Sweden of the northern lights.

It's cloudy here too...

However, I heard the aurora on my 6 meter (50MHz) radio this afternoon. It died down around dinner time, but appears to be back ~11pm and down again at 11:20pm. The aurora tends to be more intense during the day than at night, but of course one cannot see it.

Aurora shows up as a high background noise level. One can also bounce CW (Morse code) or SSB (single sideband voice) off it.

I haven't seen anyone mention this link to a time-lapsed video on northern lights in the Whites.

Ooooops. Not WMUR. Meant to write Matt Noyes, NECN.
