0158 - IS. Very weak on the same SDR in MA I was using to listen to WTF Radio a few minutes ago.
0206 - The Clash, "I Fought the Law". SINPO 14111.

Either the band shit the bed or it went super long. I'm trying to figure that out.
Postscript - FoF2 is below 4 MHz in the northeast US right now. This effectively means that the band has gone long.

[Skipmuck]

0100 UTC A barely detectable carrier here...prop must be real bad for the 73 meter band to go long. 

[webqaz]

Barely readable in the Great Lakes region.

Listening on simulcast on 6960 AM on my Yaesu pretty good solid copy at S7-S8 into central Wisconsin (Mosinee): Wildfire interval signal then Ballsmacker ID as "4030 AM" best signal on 6960 for this location in a long while. 15 minutes in signal faded to an S3 into the noise then totally gone! Switched over to 4030 AM there getting S7-S8 with heavy noise drifting in-out into the noise difficult copy.

4030 AM, just a carrier to the Palstar with indoor antenna strung along the ceiling. Closest I got to hearing anything on HF tonight. Even the time signals (2500, 5000, 7850) and some of the usual powerhouse AM broadcasters were weak tonight.

[n3tel]

I could hear the signal on 4030 only by switching to SSB.  It was too weak to listen, and 80% os the time I was unable to determine what the song was at all. Very weak into Charles Town WV on my G5RV and Icom 7300. 

The report is late in being posted, yes.
