Hi Richard, <<< I noticed there was a significant solar flare after my DX session this morning. Usually strong short wave signals from Radio Australia faded out around 1440 GMT. K-index was reported to Be 9. I'm curious to know how it might have affected medium wave DX along the Pacific Coast at that time. >>> I was DXing exactly at that moment this morning (1440) and had freakish reception from 972-HLCA, which seemed to be on a real warpath this morning from 1430-1500. The amazing signal was still pegging the PL-380 S/N right up until around 1500 UT, and was around until 1505 (when all the other Asians had long since bailed out). I don't know whether this was due to the flair or not, but I knew that something bizarre was going on! Congratulations on your reception of the 3 NHK stations this morning, Richard. Here on the coast signals were also dramatically improved, with the Japanese and Korean big guns very powerful, along with an unusually good 657-Pyongyang (undermodulated, as usual), and fair reception of 738-BEL2 after 1400. 972-HLCA didn't start its monster run until the time you reported the flare (1440). 73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) ----- Original Message -----
