Hello To All,
Decent propagation to start the evening until a solar disturbance began it's effects. With the solar K index at 4 later on , propagation here favored stations from across the Atlantic and to the south. Western signals were pretty well non-existent for the most part. Nothing was heard here from the two DX tests in Pennsylvania as I tried most of the times mentioned for both up until about 4 AM local time at this location. After a short nap I began Dxing once again until around 6 AM local . Some TA's were still quite strong at 4 AM local. 1 new Trans-Atlantic for the overall log TRANS-ATLANTICS 549 - ALGERIA - Jil FM Les Trembles 1:54 UTC 2/27/12 Arabic talk, techno music 585 - SPAIN - R.
