On the 11th of february I had excellent 90 meterband conditions towards
Guatemala (01.30-02.15 UTC).
Stations like LV de Nahuala (3360), R Tezulutlan (3370) , R Chortis (3380),
R Maya de Barillas (3324,8) all were audible here in the Netherlands. I can
tell you there must have been special propagationconditions because these
stations are certainly not a daily catch here!!

I found the following info about the geomagnetic field:
JOINT USAF/NOAA REPORT OF SOLAR AND GEOPHYSICAL ACTIVITY
IIA.  GEOPHYSICAL ACTIVITY SUMMARY FROM 10/2100Z TO 11/2100Z:
THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD WAS PREDOMINANTLY UNSETTLED TO ACTIVE. PERIODS 
OF ISOLATED MINOR STORM LEVELS WERE OBSERVED AT SOME HIGH LATITUDE   
SITES. ENERGETIC ELECTRON FLUXES AT GEOSYNCHRONOUS ORBIT WERE AT     
HIGH TO ALMOST VERY HIGH LEVELS FOR MOST OF THE PERIOD.
