Copied from dxlc.com: "Comment added at 08:42 UTC: The geomagnetic field was extremely severely disturbed 06-08h UTC with the planetary A index for those two hours reaching a highly unusual 311. The interplanetary magnetic field remains very strong but has swung northward during the last hour." 311 - wow! Can't believe there wasn't a contest (except for the CQWW DX CW). :-) 73, Bill W7TI
