I was listening to radio Australia today on 21740 until 00:00 UTC
when they switched to 17795 and 17715. The 16 meter signals are very
weak and noisy today. They usually come in quite well on both
frequencies with 17715 a little stronger most days.

21740 was very strong today.

I see we have a solar flare in progress.

The flare was a big one attenuating signals up to 23 MHz. It's 01:12 UTC
and I'm still listening to static on both 16 meter frequencies.
