Gary:
I wonder about the solar activity causing an off night for NZ.
According to the map on this page: http://www.aurora-service.net/
a K index of 9 wouldn't wipe out the North Island where most of our receptions originate. Plus, a K index of 4 (the peak for the last 24 hours) wouldn't touch the South Island.
Perhaps aurora effects extend a bit further than visible effects. I don't know. But I have had tremendous NZ DX with high auroral activity, peaking with a night with an A index of 90 and never-better NZ DX.
Chuck

Typical Kiwi-slanted propagation took a day off at the plunging ocean cliff this morning as elevated solar activity made Australian DX the order of the day. Oz big guns on 576, 594, 702, 774 and 792 pushed the NZ regulars off of their frequencies, while 558, 585 (two Oz stations), 639 and 675 featured unusual (for the cliff) Australian DX of varying strength.

73 and Good DX,
