WSPR decodes of ZL >18.000km observed almost daily but over longpath is still rare in the evening we have N-America and S-America the path to east is dark.
WSPR reports a ZL decode in the evening as shortpath DX it should be
way over 20.000km ( 40.000- 18.312 roughly?)
Visible aurora was reported in PA I have not seen it only Friday I heard Aurora signals on 50MHz. On Monday visible Aurora was reported on our latitude but strange I have not heard or seen spots of aurora propagation. Otherwise I would have been looking outside for visible aurora.
I always thought that visible aurora without strong radio aurora reports was not possible?
The Doppler effect of AURORA reflections make the decoding traces spread out.
Therefore WSPR does detect Aurora effects immediate.
