Yes very bad at the moment.

The only band that I can use to get a signal the 300km up to my remote station in Scotland is 136kHz!

On 160, 80, 40m - nothing.

The Chilton Ionogram is showing no echos at all.

Is it the end of the world as we know it?

Hello all,

Now something different:

It looks like a severe radio black out of HF is ongoing.
I have never seen this before. See attachment.

This is also an opportunity to look at PLC interference at the lower
bands, which is normally covered by signals.

I checked it on 3 different antennas: mini-whip, loop and
hf-doublet.
