The geomagnetic forecast gave unsettled conditions overnight. Instead, we had a much bigger disturbance which resulted in a near total wipe-out of North American activity from around 0400. There were many Spanish stations on the band at this time but still plenty of North Americans at 0300. Conditions were interesting with one or two less common stations, as can often be the case at the point when conditions blow-out.

Listening tonight, however, the band seems to be almost devoid of any kind of transatlantic activity with only a few very weak carriers visible.

Wishing the band a speedy recovery. Get well soon! :O)A
