My wife overheard a nurse today discussing this, in so mo of all
places.
If true, another night lost to listening.

Just tuned to 40 and 80 meters and it's
a complete washout! Much like daytime
propagation, no signals except for a
few here and there and those we can hear
have very heavy "storm drain pipe" aurora
effect on them rendering them almost
unintelligible. Even some of the big shortwave
guns like WWCR and WBCQ and either
gone or very difficult to hear as of 7:10 PM
Central Time. see www.spaceweather.com
for some nifty photos of last nite's aurora!
