Hi all, Judging from the DCF39 data from Brian CT1DRP, the daytime
conditions this weekend seemed to be up on the September average by about
10dB. Some of this might be due to the weaker autumn sun, not giving quite
so high a level of absorption in daytime as earlerier in the year. But I
suspect we still have the after-effects of the the recent geomagnetic storm
to thank. The night-time conditions look poor, with levels barely making the
average, and a great deal of very rapidly varying fading. I think this
probably signals the "beginning of the end" (as someone once famously said
!) of this event. If we do not get any more major storms the conditions
should be back to normal by about next weekend. You can't please everybody
and this probably means average daytime conditions and improved long
distance (4000kms up) nightime conditions. Reports suggest that you have
been making good use of the conditions this weekend
I have not been activivly listening so I have appended a segment of the LF
spots for the last couple of weeks from my local DX Cluster.
