There are two principles I've tried to apply to predicting geomagnetic conditions over the year. The first is to realize that some events are nearly spontaneous and may not be predictable beyond 24 hours out. This is either due to the cause being non-periodic or the cause simply being more

Bill I checked 630 after seeing your original e-mail last night. At about 9:30 PST, KCIS was its usual strong self. It sounded about normal strength here whenever I checked after that. So it may have either been weird conditions or elese they had problems earlier in the evening. Bruce in

I continued to check the band until I went to bed just after 0900, and then had the SDR-IQ recording the 600's and 700's for a few hours. Conditions at 0900 would have made for a decent sunrise enhancement, especially this time of year, with audio popping up in all sorts of places. My

Quite a bit of action today, perhaps due to better conditions, or maybe simply due to listening from a bit further north. Things certainly hang in considerably longer here than down south in Dunmore, with plenty of signals after 1600. 531 Japan 558 Korea, doing surprisingly well 567 Japan

Bruce, That is odd. I tried after Midnight and had CHED alone on the channel for a time. I wonder if it was cx or did KCIS go off? I never hear CHED These days dominant. If I hear it, it is buried u/KCIS. So maybe the soft rel mx I heard was a weak KCIS? KCIS normally is on top off the NE/NW
