(My apologies I missed all nets this day.)

Propagation :- Very bad. The K=index reached 8 at one time.

With acknowledgements to ARRL :-

"On Mother's Day, Sunday, May 8, a big blast of solar wind sparked a
geomagnetic storm, and the planetary A index went all the way to 64,
Alaska's College A index went to 80, and the mid-latitude A index
was 38. This provoked some nice aurora displays over the weekend.
Then sunspot 758 began to expand rapidly, and the sunspot count for
Monday through Wednesday, May 9-11 was 106, 106 and 117."

Good exchanges all round and had interesting propagation into the USA in their early morning.
Bill VK5CV relayed for Noel to John (G4HMG) that the ROAR members directory has gone to the printers.

When the net closed at 0730z propagation had improved between HB9CQS and VK5CV and so I left
them chatting on the frequency.
