G1 geo-magnetic storm. However, the biggest thing today is the very
long duration M class solar event. The magnetic flux index has spent
over 3 hours in the M range. I tuned to 10 meters just before sunset
and heard a Japanese station very well. Longest M class event I have
seen. Waiting for NASA analysis / report.

DX Ace. Here it is. Use the University of Twente SDR and tune to 6120
kHz at 2300 UT sign on and the station is PBS Xinjiang in Urumqi and
they play the "East is Red" interval signal.It is loud and clear on
this frequency on the radio in Holland.


Unfortunately, no sound card in this computer!




Conditions are improving, so should be able to hear it direct soon. At
least we know there was propagation one day on 7260 kHz. 7310 kHz is
another freq on the list I might try. 6120 should be better here as days
shorten.
