Last Saturday night West coast time the reception was good for me to the
early hours of Sunday morning around 3AM. I tuned in again around 9AM
and things sure went down hill since then.

Saturday I noticed the 21 MHz band was poor but other bands were good.
Australia on 21,740 was poor and Radio Netherlands was good most of the
time on the 17 and 15 MHz bands during their 19 to 21 UTC broadcast and
today they are much weaker than yesterday on all frequencies.

Today Radio Netherlands was weak and noisy on both 17,735 and 17,660 and
also 15,315 right to the end of the broadcast at 21:00 UTC.

Yep and it looks to continue for at least a few more hours. Right now
Japan on 17,825 is pretty weak and noisy on most of the time.
Periodically they are good for a few minutes. I don't hold out much hope
of Australia being any good on 21,740 at 22:00 to 00:00 UTC.

Yeah wasn't good tonite at all (3:00 - 4:00 UTC). My favorite 31 meter band
was very noisey and the 19 meter band was very bad.

BBC on 9825 at 0200 was fine. I checked 15170 at 0300 and noticed that
Saudi Arabia wasn't there-last night I heard a faint but listenable
signal with prayers that went on for 30 minutes, continuously. It was
that wailing chanting and it didn't stop for a half hour.

According to
http://www.sec.noaa.gov/alerts/warnings_timeline.html
EXTENDED WARNING: Geomagnetic K-index of 5
is extended through till some time tomorrow afternoon.

Things have recovered somewhat as I have a good signal on New Zealand
and Australia on the 15 MHz band.

I am in San Diego, and I noticed last night I couldn't even get some AM
stations let alone SW broadcasts. I was able to hear Japan and Taiwan
ok, but Australia which is usually strong, was really bad.

I suspect that people further north of us had worse reception.

I had 640 KFI fading out on me so I noticed the poorer reception on AM
broadcast band also but Australia and New Zealand were OK later in the
evening.

with oldies music, Greece came in good around 0245 GMT on 7475, Ukraine was
on 7440 at around 0250 GMT and Japan was okay on 17825 at 2215 GMT.
