Re: [HCDX] Please, more magnetic storms!!



There were 22 Indos up from 2899 to 15125, not including duplicate frequencies for Jambi, and no VOI.
There were 16 PNG plus 4890,9675.
I was down on the coast of Washington. I'm still catching up my loggings online as I just got back home.

Fabulous levels for both (rest of the band was mush...)

Got up at 1145 UTC [4:45 a.m. local] to check for reception. We need more magnetic storms! I was mostly looking for PNG and found them on:
3204.966 [still noted on this "off" frequency], 3315,  3325,  3335,  3355,  3385, 3905, and 4890 kHz.
 
I heard an Indonesian, RRI, Ternate Maluku {ex. Spice Islands where there is mucho civil unrest!}, and Indonesia again on 3385.245 kHz [Kupang, Timur].
 
The PNG stations shutdown for the day at 1200 UTC. The station on 3204.996 [R. Sandaun, Vanimo] went off the air at about 1204 UTC, later than the others. All the signal strengths were fairly good between -80 and -100 dBm. The 4890 kHz station in Port Moresby was clearer than local AM MF stations!

At 1200 UTC on 5 MHz I could hear clearly and loudly: WWV, WWVH, JJY noting CW for "U", i.e. uncertain conditions, and BPM {China}.
