I tried practically every station listed in Passport under 0200 UTC for
North America, and the only thing I can pick up is a real faint signal
from South Korea on 31m. I can't even receive CUBA, for dogsakes! It's
0240 as I post this message, and still nothing. Even the US time signals
are faint, and I'm only 1000 miles away from them! Oh, and the racket on
49m is incredible. What's going on here? I haven't heard anything about
a solar flare or storm.

Hi - Here in SF Bay Area, although reception is not splendid, there is
plenty to hear - all the big guns are powering in, and there are
plenty of non-NA broadcasts to hear as well (the southern Africa
services in particular were great last night about 0400 onward, like
BBC Meyerton SA and VOA Botswana, and DW Rwanda if Deutsche is your
thing). Europe was a little weaker than a few nights ago, but they
were there. Cuba was strong on 49 meters.

Hope your reception improves!
