Last night was the deadest night I have ever witnessed in my 35 years of overnight, bedside, AM DX listening. Nothing below 1500 was audible at all, except for a short window around 2315 local time when CKAC Montreal on 730 faded up to about 10% of normal strength right at the end of the hockey broadcast (fortuitously!).
When I say "dead" I mean dead. Not even groundwave. Never seen anything like it before. I did NOT check 1390 for WEGP, but I'd be amazed if it wasn't missing also. None of the usual groundwave/skywave suspects was detectable at all. I'm sure the auroral oval must have encompassed my area and prevented stuff from practically any azimith, and any angle. I was hearing weak stations above 1500, but that was all. Using the 2010 barefoot on a lazy susan.
