Yes. This was a classic UN-TP reception event.
Simply, the ionosphere inverts and all the good DX
is beamed out into space.

I even noticed that the domestic signal levels were
down  --
Of course, I have a beverage morning planned for
tomorrow which would explain the timely arrival
of the UN-ionospheric event. Drat.
