Content preview: Sefan Somehow missed your e mail so no report from here. With the DST at 'disturbed' levels it is unlikely that I would have had reception of your signals. It might be a good idea to check http://lasp.colorado.edu/space_weather/dsttemerin/dsttemerin.html for the DST levels before an overnight T/A attempt. Generally speaking, condx are favorable when the DST has been at -10 nt or better for a couple days. The second chart down shows that the 9th or 10th would have been better T/A nights. The big dip starting on the 10th is a problem.
