I missed most of the aurora on 5th November, which was apparently very good visually, though it was wet and overcast in my part of Essex when I looked out. That was a pity as it would certainly be something to write home about for a visual aurora to be seen in Essex. I did catch what I think was the later part of the radio aurora when it was fading. I am terribly rusty with my CW but thanks to Peter, MM0CEZ’s patience I managed to complete with him. Thanks, Peter.
Anyway here is my meagre haul, but I believe stations far as OK were worked on 2 metres by others.

I am going to get my CW back up to speed and hope for another nice aurora or some decent tropo soon.
