Such a fascinating subject and LF is really a canary in the coal mine!

Hi Scott, probably not quite that long,  the ring current is fairly depleted
so my guess is 7 to 10 days, but watch the Dst as it climbs back. The
problem could be that there are more shocks to come. That certainly will
extend the depressed period. I think -65nT is not too bad compared with what
we have seen in the past.

Subject: LF: Big CME impact!

Hi All

A Kp=7 geomagnetic storm is raging now and the Dst has dropped like a
rock for the first time in months.

I won't expect good DX condx for awhile on LF.

Too bad as the EU and Asia signals on 153 where building up very nicely
with record early appearances from EU !  Back to square one for a couple
of weeks I guess.
