Big solar flare
 

I was listening to New Zealand on 15720 and Australia on 17715, 17795
around 0:00 hrs UTC when they all dropped out due to a solar flare. It
was a dozy that attenuated signals up to 20 MHz. The trend is decreasing
now just before 1:00 UTC so they should be back soon.

Same here in Auckland, New Zealand. Listening to Radio Australia on 13630
kHz (which I do often) and it went away pretty much!
