I'm listening to it right now. This is the first time I have ever
picked up a station from Africa with my shortwave unit.

They are playing some interesting music.

As the clouds disappear around here the reception picks up by leaps
and bounds.

Coming in very nicely in Ohio.

Yes, very. You can tell that the person doing the
discussion isn't perfectly fluent in English, but
he gets good marks for trying.

Is it just me, or is Radio Cairo's sound quality
better than what it used to be? Okay, it's still
not that great, but it's better than hardly understanding
anything at all.

I think you'll find that the clouds being there or not being there has little or
nothing to do with SW reception.

I picked them up faintly on 7115 during the late evening on Nov 14- did'nt
record the time. Passport lists this english freq for times 23:00 to
00:30UTC. Listening in S.W. Missouri. Forget about the clouds- as long as
there is no lightening in the area, the local weather makes little
difference to SWL; there are too many other things to goof up reception.
This is my hobby when I can't use a telescope!

And I am leaning toward nothing to do with it.

It seems that quite a few DXers are also amateur astronomers. I find
that in both hobbies, the support (antenna or mount) is just as
important as the main
instrument (receiver or telescope).

It's quite likely there is some connection between the ionosphere and
tropospheric weather (clouds) but so far it's not at all clear. no pun
:-)
