Hello All, Asiatic signals suffered a major drop off here this morning as even the "big gun" TP regulars struggled to produce any audio. 594-JOAK was one of the few to be heard with poor Japanese talk at 1310, but even 747-JOIB and 774-JOUB stayed at carrier levels. 657-Pyongyang and the 1053-Korean Jammer (both with equally interesting programming) managed a few ghostly traces of audio at times, but 1566-HLAZ (which was so vibrant yesterday) also stayed at the carrier level. I suspect that some kind of solar flare put the skids on TP propagation, at least for the 1300-1340 UTC period.
