The aurora was very strong last night, the sky was all green from north to
south west here at 65.4N. Even so, 5Z4DZ was 599, and the Asian stations
were coming through quite well indeed. This morning however, I could just
barely detect one station and it turned out to be DF2PY.. talk about
different conditions.. he is normally 599+
