Hi Stefan be careful with you appreciation of good conditions using the
noise leevel!! The noise usually drops because it is not being propagated so
a low noise condition CAN be a state of poor propagation. I think that is
the case at the moment. The CME associated with the X-Class flare pushed the
Dst down to -60nT and filled the Ring Current region with charge that will
leak into the ionosphere over the following days. This increases the
night-time absorption and reduces DX signal levels. A demo of this is to
look at the levels recorded by Scott VE7TIL for a Russian BC station on
153kHz. This normally strong signal is depressed by 35 to 40dB at present.
