2349 UTC OM talking possibly in English...signal too deep in the noise for copy
2350 UTC Music
2352 UTC CW?
-
Hearing something but very weak and may have gone now 23:55UTC.
-
Tuned it at 0004, CW message. Sounds a bit like the same brief thing is being sent several times. Into music. Tough copy here.
0005 more CW, then apparently off
-
2358 some mx, barely heard (after Brasil 6925 LSB turned off)
then peaks of music just above noise background, 0006 lost or end

:( I believe we have a solar flare and a radio fade out. I am hearing almost nothing HF and arctic flutter on super stations. ::)

No solar flares. We haven't even had any sunspots at all for days ;D
It's just low solar activity leading to low ionization and low foF2 values. Head down to the lower bands for DX.
p.s. I checked the SDR recording for this transmission - nothing heard here.

:D You are so right. I think that's why engineers really stopped designing serious communication networks on HF right after WW2, except VOA and USSR began to play radio wars on shortwave with 500kw (God Forbid ) transmitters in sixties.
Today VOA a ghost ship except to attempt to blast away a socialism in Cuba. LOL The Radio Martii, what a JOKE.
