Spectacularly poor reception this morning. Interestingly, the signal strength
recordings had fairly good levels on the big guns until about 1330UT, followed
by a decline to practically nothing over the next 90 minutes.

A big bounce back to one of the better mornings in awhile, though
mostly in signal strength rather than a huge number of signals with
audio. Conditions were quite variable, so there could be rapid

as when the predicted geomagnetic storm hits.
