GEOMAGNETIC STORM: A solar wind stream hit Earth's magnetic field during the late hours of Feb. 4th, sparking a G2-class (Kp=6) geomagnetic storm, in progress. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras, especially during the hours around local midnight. (from http://www.spaceweather.com via DXLD)

Unbelievable auroral conditions

Warm greetings ! Huge opening to South America including Andean pop music on 1070 AM badly jammed by WTIC-1080 Stalinist jammer, YVRQ and Cadena Agramonte fighting on 910 AM and several in the 800s including at least two Latins on 860 in null of aurora weakened CJBC-860 Toronto. One of them is LA Q, obviously not XEQ which is on 940.

May the good DX be with you! Conditions are way above average almost spectacular, something I haven`t seen since December of 2006 (Bogdan Chiochiu, Pierrefonds or Montreal, PQ, 0209 UT February 5, HCDX via DXLD)
