Disrupted the midwest and northeast. 40 meters was great last night.
This morning was terrible. Tried to call a friend in Louisiana this
afternoon and reception was just starting to improve. Maybe it will be
back to normal in time for the Liberty Net.

20m was not bad either last night - I heard a passel of people from
the midwest coming through here in CA like they were next door. That
faded after about 0500.

40 meters seems to be recovering now but a bunch of big storms are
moving in. Three guys in the afternoon net have had to disconnect due
to approaching storms.

60 meters (My fav band) has been perking up lately. That band is like
a streetfight anyway so any bit of help is very noticeable.

Huh - interesting. 60m here is just so-so, and the rest of them are
weak or dead at 0600z. The sites say a G1 storm is going at 0600z,
with pretty high A and K indices, so I'm not too surprised. I
listened to CRI relay via Spain tonight on 31m, and the signal was OK
at 0300-0400, but after that the band just dropped to where it is
now. Oh, well.

Last week was all messed up.

Screwed up last night too. Not bad this morning, though.

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! ;-)
