Ok, so my 7415 post has prompted wavetrapper to mention geomagnetic
storm and Telamon's post below has also mentioned less than optimum
band conditions. Is this a whorlwide condition??

So now I have to ask the question; 'Where do I find some information
that relates the geomagnetical conditions to how well my radio is going
to play?'

I know that sucky is not the correct term to describe conditions so
that maybe one of you old buzzard DXperts can point us newbies to a
link to a primer on this propagation that will take some of the magic
out.
