Al, There are times you have to look out the window to see if you still have an antenna. Conditions can be that bad when a storm occurs. Usually improves in less than 24 hours. _______ 73, Jim - N4ST -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Al Gulseth Sent: Wednesday, November 4, 2015 10:04 To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] OT: geomagnetic storm effects on bands? Greetings Elecrafters, I have an older Sangean portable next to the bed that I sometimes listen to while I'm settling in for the evening. Frequently I'll tune in W1AW for a quick rough propagation indicator. Last evening 40M, which usually has a strong signal in the 9-10 PM Central timeframe, was much weaker than usual. 80 was also down, so I went to 20 expecting a weak signal at best as the band is usually shutting down by that long after sunset. I was surprised to hear a stronger signal there than on 40, and I could also hear W1AW on 17 and 15, which are usually dead by then this time of year. Is this possibly due to the current geomagnetic storm? (I'm still learning when it comes to solar/geomagnetic events and propagation.)
