Very good! I can often pull this out, but rarely get what you'd call
"copy" on them.

Probably asign of good transpolar conditions. With sunspots
increasing,
I'm hearing a lot more on the higher frequencies at night. Haven't
seen
conditions like this in a several years.

The conditions are certainly getting slightly better . Several days
ago I heard R. Kuwait on 21540 KHz .

Definitely better last night. I worked Akita City, Japan and somewhere
around Sydney, Australia on 15 meters between 0000 and 0100 UTC. That
was right about the time the Kp index hit 6.http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/rt_plots/kp_3d.html

So Jim - is the K index as obnoxious as it's made out to be? *Or does
it just amp up the higher freqs at the expense of the lower ones?

Last night, I noticed some 15 meter activity on the DX cluster. I
checked it out and I could hear only the DX station and no stateside
stations. Only took one call and he came back, so conditions were
unusual to say the least.

It appears that if you catch it (high Kp) at the initial peak, you can
get good results on the higher frequencies. The low bands do suffer
most from this activity. The two days after the peak seem to be the
worst. Especially in the higher latitudes.

Thanks - well now the numbers look like this:

0000 by VE7CC SFI=103, A=26, K=2, Moderate w/G2 - No Storms

That A looks lousy, and the SFI drops again.
