I was listening to Radio Netherlands when they dropped out on 17,735 and
15,315 with the usual very strong signal and they just dropped into the
noise. Transmitter trouble? Nope, big solar flare.

I was getting some very strong crackling noises when it started. Not like
lightning but weird. I just moved into this new home and my have gotten
some
RFI from around here but it ran right with the peak of the storm.

I never heard Australia on 21,740 today and currently I don't hear them
on 17,795 and just barely getting them on 17,715 MHz.

Well, I'm back from an evening out and listening Australia and New
Zealand with very poor signals on the 19 meter (15 MHz) band.

Wow, yet another flare in progress! What a weird day on the sun this has
been with one flare after another.

I got next to nothing for two hours last night (1-3 AM CDT) from KMOX
here in the Chicago area, between some QRN I can't explain or find the
source of and weak signals. Shoulda thought to try WWL but didn't;
they're usually strong here.

WWL put in a very nice signal here last night. I fell asleep listening to it on
the bedside radio and woke up to it still coming in well at about 6:30 AM.

I wonder if the weird conditions explain the odd audio I detect on the
part of CAMSLANT Chesapeake. The voices seem oddly muffled.

Yes. There is a concurrent geomagnetic storm along the solar radiation
events.

The X ray trend today is down from yesterday but still high.
