I was listening to radio Australia today on 21740 until 00:00 UTC
when they switched to 17795 and 17715. The 16 meter signals are very
weak and noisy today. They usually come in quite well on both
frequencies with 17715 a little stronger most days.

21740 was very strong today.

I see we have a solar flare in progress.

The flare was a big one attenuating signals up to 23 MHz. It's 01:12 UTC
and I'm still listening to static on both 16 meter frequencies.

Well it's 02:11 and Australia switched to 15515 MHz and I have no sign
of them on it. For me 15515 is usually best this time of day.

New Zealand noisy on 17675 S2 to S4 peak where they are usually S9 and
that flare is still going!

The flare is finally fading and New Zealand is coming up in strength S4
to S6 and sounding good. Still not as strong as usual thought. Australia
weak S3 to S5 and noisy on 15515 and only just audible on 15240.

Australia is starting to hit S7 on 15515 and sounding pretty good as the
very long flare continues to fade.

That big flare is almost gone and I have New Zealand on 11820 plus S9 on
the peaks and Australia on 15515 plus S9. They both sound like locals
which is the usual reception at this time for me.
