RE: 

1460 with sports has gone back to where it was hiding previously.( No ID from this one)
After 10 PM the three CBC stations are weakly returning to own their usual spots.
It seems like skip was basically running north-south only tonight when I started my scan. Can anyone out there explain what causes directional skip? Thanks

Hello To All 

As Nick explained, when auroral conditions are pending it can really have a dramatic effect on signals 

Here in the North Atlantic I've noticed that a few hours prior to a solar disturbance and also on the downslide , reception seems to be really unique with an opportunity to hear stations at good audio levels which are not normally heard on certain frequencies. 

At this location when the solar K Index number rises above 4 ( currently 5 )  there tends to be a strong block on signals from the west, yet in the opposite direction signals from across the Atlantic strengthen significantly. 

Also signals from the Caribbean and South America during these times really intensify as well


Just an added perspective from this location
