FATE OF SHORT WES
IS MYSTERY WHEN THE
AURORA PAINTED SKIES
—
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. (JP)—When
Aurora Borealis, master showman ,
' ' I
of the northern skies, puts on a spec-j
tacle like that of the night of July j
7, short wave radio communication |
is paralyzed.
The brilliant display of northern
lights was accompanied by the worst
magnetic storm in years and disrup
tion of the long distance, high fre
quency radio circuits throughout tlie
world. Operators at Navy Radio Cen
tral say that signals, which usually
come in strong and clear at night
from the high powered stations at
San Francisco, Honolulu and Balboa
sputtered feebly and then died out
Even local amateurs could not be
heard. Observers at the Naval R>
^arch • Laboratory say the break
down in communications was almost
universal, Buenos Aires, the - great j
British beam and other stations fad
ing out.
