Default Any reports back from today's geomagnetic storm?

Any reports on whether the G-1 storm has adversely affected HF?


Well, I monitored CRI on its 9690 Spain relay 0300-0400z three nights
running (4/24, 4/25 and 4/26), and the propagation definitely improved
on the latter two nights compared to the first night. On the 24th it
was quite touch and go on getting good copy; by the 25th much better,
virtually 100%, and last night was cake. Given the high-midlatitude
path the signal takes, not surprised that it got bonked the first
evening by the storm, even a little G1.

So, death to geomagnetic storms! ;-)
