Morning/Afternoon - well done Stefan!
 
 
Nothing (from first visuals) from Alaska but conditions were not all= that great and were a few dBs down on the previous days -
 
Attached is the relative signal level plot for DHO38 and NPM over the peri= od.  I know its not 9kHz but interesting for general comparision.
 
Pre dawn Germany DHO38 has a marvellous (very short sweet spot!) &nbs= p;repeatable enhancement and interestingly shallow if nothing dusk ch= ange, just gentle rise in signal strength.
 
Signal profiles on the near reciprocal bearing to NPM in Ha= waii which shows steep dawn and more gentle and "mushy" dusk tilts. RSDN2= on the otherhand averages pretty flat, probably given the multiple transm= itter locations.
 
The Aurora on the 4th really didnt change a lot of signal strengths save= the background "hiss" was up about 5dB...I would have expected a little= more loss and phase changes during this period, so guess it wasnt intense= but did produce some pulsating aurora. Proton levels have diminished quit= e quickly but I see its still relatively hot for Stefans signal as it pass= es across/under the 2 Auroral ovals crossings.
 
There are little or no MF/HF signals coming directly over the pole at this= time - its sometimes takes weeks after even a mild Auroral event to get= "good" again on MF up there.
 
Ive a couple of Gbs .wav files so perhaps we will see what there= really is with more filtering.
