That level does not usually have a big effect but it is obviously enough to "take the edge off" the signal reducing it below aural reception levels. I think the replenishment of particles to the ring current has been taking place ove an extended period rather than the sudden quick burst we see on a CME. There is a bit of an upward trend now so maybe conditions are coming back. > > Alan > G3NYK > > ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roelof Bakker" > To: > Sent: Sunday, November 16, 2014 10:52 AM > Subject: Re: LF: CW 477.7 kHz > > >> Hello Joe, >> >> T/A propagation has been poor lately and last night was no exception. >> The only NDB from Newfoundland I heard was AY-356, St. Anthony and very >> weak at that! >> When conditions are good, I can hear ten or more from your area. >> >> Nonetheless, I could spot your signal on my overnight spectrum recording >> for the better part of the night until local sunrise.
