Hi all
The Flare that caused the GMF to go active to minor storm levels early last
week starting at ~0600z on the 26th also produced some enhanced signals
here in Ontario on 160. The VKs on the 27th [ ~29 hours after the onset of
activity and ~40 hours after the flare ] were much louder than usual, as was
I into VK. While I have heard of, and experienced, improved condx just
before and during the onset of activity, I don't recall enhanced condx
lasting over 24 hours. Unfortunately by Friday night the band was in
terrible shape here with very high levels of absortion. Both Friday and
Saturday night I wasn't even able to make it to the west coast here in the
WPX and signals were all down compared to usual. Did any of my fellow top
banders notice the same [ or even different ] condx?? I am curious what 160
was like in Europe, or any where else for that matter, in the last few
days.
