Not much in the way of DU results this morning from the present geomagnetic
storm. There were a few of the usual carriers scattered across the band, with
1116 the only one delivering audio traces. That one seems very well
modulated, as its carrier strength wasn't really any stronger than
Hey Nick:
Last week near Seaside, OR, 1116 was often the strongest het as well.
However, since 1120-KPNW just down the road was unnullable with its sky
and ground paths, I wasn't able to extract any audio on the Tecsun PL-380
(which isn't SSB and so couldn't select only the USB...).

Solar-terrestrial indices for 03 August follow.
Solar flux 81 and mid-latitude A-index 16.
The
A index is up to 30 now and K=4 so hopefully there will be a real AU. I'd like
to see things with an A clearly over 50.

The short-term forecast doesn't suggest it. K index seems to be trending down...

Interesting news, indeed. During the day, the only stations on AM currently
heard at my cottage are KTKN on 930 (the strongest), then CBC Terrace on
860, and finally 560 CHTK which is still relatively strong during the day.
Otherwise, we occasionally hear Sitka on 580 and Terrace on 590, and
CFXG-1230 Grand Cache AB, the 50 watt relay of CFXE-FM Edson AB, has

Bummer! At 176 miles, this is my closest unheard. Only been trying for it
for 35 years and never even a hint. Never heard it when I lived in Fox
I was wondering when TK was going to ask to move. Both 560's will be now
gone, as Ft. St. Johns BC moved a few years ago. The two used to mix all
of the time. Glad I have have them all QSL'd. TK is still a frequent
visitor here.

Lots of T-storm static keeping me from DXing as much as I'd like to have in
tonight's moderate AU. Northern skip is quite attenuated and in some cases
clobbered but stuff from St. Louis and more southerly seems mostly undisturbed.
Lots of fade ins and outs on the regionals and GYs. 1500 is fun
Certainly some of the standard AU catches were in tonight here in
southern Alberta (like XEB owning 1220), but certainly nothing terribly
exciting. Perhaps the most interesting reception was a nice ID from
CA's KNRY on 1240. The auroral effect seemed stronger last night, with
more Mexican
Been meaning to check this and other frequencies Nick has been hearing
hets in the summer evenings. After an enjoyable chat and lunch with
Nick at the BCDX 2010 convention in Vancouver, I vowed to check when I
got home. Of course, the significant solar disturbance that has
