Subject: [Elecraft] Bands In Sad Shape
What happened to the bands today? I hear almost nothing. I did hear, and
work, ZF2AH this morning on 17m, but nothing else until this evening when
I
called CQ on 7.055 and I got TI2RDP responding to my call.
I did notice the A index was at 70 this morning and has fallen to 10 at
0636
UTC.

I noticed the same thing on 40 and 80 meters past 2 nights (higher noise
than usual and odd propagations). On 40 meters, I was hearing Eastern Asia
stations (one appeared to be Chinese) from about 7.220 down to around 7.140
MHz.
Traditional regional stations were barely detectible --- almost
non-existent.
I attribute this to the 0930 region events on Sun

We have had at least one "X" event every day since December 13

December 17 --- region 0930 is "setting to right" from Earth's vantage point
