Jan26 01:01 UPDATE 01.24.12: The coronal mass ejection CME collided with Earth's magnetic field a little after 10 AM ET on January 24, 2012. The influx of particles from the CME amplified the solar radiation storm such that it is now considered the largest since October 2003. NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center has categorized it as a "strong" -- or S3 (with S5 being the highest) – storm. Solar radiation storms can affect satellite operations and short wave radio propagation, but cannot harm humans on Earth. Auroras may well be visible tonight at higher latitudes such as Michigan and Maine in the U.S., and perhaps even lower. - KA3JAW EL87 (user-142gph3.cable.mindspring.com 72.40.102.35)

Jan22 13:36 the one in the back all i took off was the motor part not to the gears inside, so i am unsure. I am just hoping that its just too-to cold right now for the one with the APS13 on it, so hopefully it will break free and move with ease in a few hours. LM/FM29, the rotators could hold me back on improving my setup and making it easier to expand and get better DX. LM/FM29 (c-68-80-32-109.hsd1.pa.comcast.net 68.80.32.109)
