Re: [IRCA] TP's for Oct 19

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

Listened from 1405 to 1443UT this morning.   The K-index jumped to 4 
at 1418UT according to NOAA which has just started to show on their 
website what we already knew....geomagnetic upset.

Interestingly, while down under activity was more noticeable closer 
to 1400UT, a couple of the stronger Japanese reappeared closer to 
1430UT.    Quite an unusual morning, and definitely one that the 
190kHz recording crowd should have put onto their hard drives, 
because you had to be there in the short period that something faded 
up.   In hindsight, instead of methodically scanning the band, I 
should have jumped on whatever was above the splatter at that 
particular moment.



       Down under unless noted.

Darn good audio, if briefly: 612 EE talk, fading fairly quickly after 1415UT.

Reasonable audio  (though often battling w/splash) 594 (EE not JJ), 
828 (EE also)

Not so reasonable audio, occasional words in splash or noise:   576 EE, 774 JJ

Burbles in the splatter: 567, 603, 621 (seemed Asia rather than DU), 747 JJ

strong carrier, no audio:  639, 675 (Asia?), 738

In general, it seemed DU before 1415, then some Asiatic recovery 
afterwards, though generally things were fading pretty rapidly by then.



best wishes,

Nick
