Question for you all,

Im up here in Alaska and only have a yb400pe (w/ sony active antenna)
and for the last few days I havent been getting anything. Although
last night I was picking up Radio Australia on 13630 and for a little
bit on 15240, and an asian station on 9595. Now during the day I have
nothing. I know as the K & A indexs go up radio performance goes
down. Is this total blackout normal, and is it because of only having
a portable radio, and/or my location to the pole?

Thanks,
