1140 UTC Blues music

Fair signal on peaks. Probably a bit too close to the 40 metre amateur band because on a wide filter I'm getting Germans in sideband.

1020 Easy listening crooner singing 'Castles in Spain'
'Slow down, chill out and relax' jingle
1023 'Mad about the Boy'

Good S9 signal. Ordinarily I wouldn't hear this in the UK, F2 skip must be shorter.

Clips of Radio Zodiac.

Excellent signal, about 5dB stronger than 6290 here, which is very strong in itself.
So another tx from somewhere else, not the 6290 rig as I assumed last time.

Nothing at my location in East of England. The 'biggest geomagnetic storm in almost 20 years' has completely flattened the 49 metre band. 6130 usually romps in but there's nothing here, 6150 is very weak. The 40m amateur band is also eerily quiet, with no sideband signals at all here, just some FT8 and weak CW.

1218 Terry Phillips show.
1222 'Sky high' by Jigsaw (this is a great record). About S6.
Pamela were quite strong earlier (about 10.30) with Steve Most show. Not bad for the low power.
