On this solemn morning, I began listening to the bands at 13:07 UTC, along with Nick Hall-Patch's DX Fishbarrel. The picture was not pretty! Almost a complete wipe-out of any signals, and those that were present were attenuated, and exclusively from DU. Not a single Asiatic this morning. SF: 116, A, an incredible 34, and K(at 12:00) of 1. Minor radio blackouts during the past 24, and minor radio blackouts again forecast for the next 24. As always, a "6" (threshold audio) unless otherwise noted:
