Levels from CFH were down and there was some deep fading. Brian's plot of the shorter path to DCF39 also shows evidence of absorption still around in the D-layer. I expect this to be a minor set back and hope that conditions will generally improve over the next couple of nights. The Kp index has stayed relatively low for a while now. We are about 12 days out from the last geomag. storm (Kp=6) so most of the effects has died away. Experience suggests that the best nights are around this time somewhere around 14 days after the storm.
