Hi Richard, 
 
<<<ÂÂ I noticed there was a significant solar flare after my DX session 
this morning. ÂUsually strong short wave signals from Radio 
Australia faded out around 1440 GMT. ÂK-index was reported to 
Be 9. I'm curious to know how it might have affected medium wave DX 
along the Pacific Coast at that time. >>> 
 
I was DXing exactly at that moment this morning (1440) andÂhadÂfreakish reception from 972-HLCA, which seemed to be on a real warpath this morning from 1430-1500. TheÂamazing signal was still pegging the PL-380 S/N right up until around 1500 UT, and was around until 1505 (when all the other Asians had long since bailed out). I don't know whether this was due to the flair or not, but I knew that something bizarre was going on! 
 
Congratulations on your reception of the 3 NHK stations this morning, Richard. Here on the coast signals were also dramatically improved, with the Japanese and Korean big guns very powerful, along with an unusually good 657-Pyongyang (undermodulated, as usual), and fair reception of 738-BEL2 after 1400. 972-HLCA didn't start its monster run until the time you reported the flare (1440).

ÂThis morning there was finally a break in the DX drought. 

594 unID (JOAK?) - a trace of a signal heard a various times from 
1014 until 1252 (LSR @ 1249) 
747 JOIB - Poor at 1003-1005 //JOUB. Not heard afterward. 
774 JOUB - fading in and out between 0951 and 1228 with barely 
audible to poor signal. 

Receivers: Tecsun PL-310 and PL-606 with 8-inch FSL. 

Good DX. 

Richard Allen, 
near Perry OK USA.
