It is well up in the high 30s dBu at about 2200z. The tell-tale will be the morning decline in strength, and the timing of that. One plus factor seems that it is between the SMPSU harmonics !! The signal on 124.6 certainly sounds like the old SXV signal (100Hz FSK). Thanks Costas. Its nice to have something to monitor whilst CFH is away. There is not a lot of point in logging a station if I dont know where it is. I was once interested in looking for a tranmission from CFH Halifax in this area but could not disentangle it from the qrm at that time. I was not listening during the flare yesterday so I do not know whether there was any enhancement at 1630z ish, but reports suggest is caused a blackout on the MF bands. Strange propagation may ensue in about 5 days time. It all depends on the orientation of the CME field when it arrives. Cheers de Alan G3NYK Alan.Melia@btinternet.com.
