Hi Dex, yes its be quiet geomagnetically for some days now, and the DCF39
plot at Steve W3EEE site showed good levels last night but there was a lot
of deep fading. NOAA predictions suggest present conditions should persist
for at least another two or three days. I note that Joe got a listener
report from Germany as well.
