Re: [HCDX] Armchair reception
Here`s why:
Solar-terrestrial indices for 23 August follow.
Solar flux 112 and mid-latitude A-index 11.
The mid-latitude K-index at 0900 UTC on 24 August was 6 (155 nT).
The mid-latitude K-index at 1200 UTC on 24 August was 7 (298 nT).
Space weather for the past 24 hours has been strong.
Geomagnetic storms reaching the G3 level occurred.
Solar radiation storms reaching the S2 level occurred.
Radio blackouts reaching the R1 level occurred.
(SEC via DXLD)
OTOH, higher frequency conditions were very poor when I checked around 1400;
just a few of the closer stronger signals audible on 16m, NOT including Chile
17680 which is usually a powerhouse here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
