Well, funny you should mention that someone needs to be way up North. There is a really good possibility that my first born son is flying into Yellowknife on Friday or Saturday for the next month and then on to some remote diamond drilling camp between the Great Bear Lake and the Great Slave. He can hardly wait to see what the aurora situation is going to be like, and he hopes very much to hear them. He'll be there off and on until the first of May when the ground becomes too soft for easy movement and the lakes thaw where the diamonds are found under the water, under the top rock. He is a geochemist, not a physicist, but he has some background and very much a liking and understanding of it. And he is so keen to hear the aurora. He will be in the land of snow covered permafrost, with NO trees or needles, thank goodness. We don't need that factor being a suspicion. At -40C and F he is not going to be able to pull his hood down for very long to listen, but I know he will try his best. He may even go back some in the summer to do ground surveys, but usually they get the summers off. After a shift or two up there he will enough jingle in his pockets to buy some pretty decent equipment, but he will need some expert advice, if anyoine can truly tell him ????? I still think that personnel at the University of Alaska, where there is a whole unit just devoted to the study of the aurora, must have attempted to record the sound, a well enough known phenomena, and are more likely to have accurate data on it, or an explanation for why they can't record it, or a suggestion as to how to go about it, which ever way they are currently leaning on this curious subject.
