Poor Conditions Tonight!
« on: October 07, 2015, 2350 UTC »
At 2330- I can't hear CHU-7850, CFRX-6070 or Newfoundland-6160. Stuff from the south, such as Anguilla on 6090 are fine.

Nothing close in being heard here. The foF2 layer is pretty weak: http://www.spacew.com/www/fof2.html

SFI = 81   A = 77   K = 6

Interesting...the A-index is almost as high as the Solar Flux!

"Poor"?
It's like THE END OF THE WORLD.... again....

Even WWV-5 is a whisper.  All I can get is Radio Habana Cuba.  Must be a communist conspiracy...

CHU 3330 finally faded in here near 0300 UTC peaking at S-7.  Was nothing there before now.

Switch on HAARP so this bunch will stop their whining, Al.

9 a.m. North Korean time, any day of your choosing. Give 'em a full half hour of good props so they'll have nothing to complain about.

CFRX-6070  was in around 2230, but gone completely at 0000. Another sucky night.
