Not a bad night at all with many frequencies yielding a second North American station. Of note were 1010 1130 1500 and 1520.
I didn't start recording until well after 0300 so I don't know what conditions were like before this. Two solar shocks were received overnight, the second one around 0420, roughly the time conditions strarted to take a dive. North America had started to disappear by this time and there was brief influx of South American signals with some fair levels from a Latin music station in the Spanish language on 890, usually a difficult channel. 1060 had a lively Latin station, as did 1070 - almost certainly Radio Santa Fe with IDs mentioning Bogota.
By 0430, ALL reception, including European, took a dive, maybe because of the solar shock. It was like a partial short-wave fade-out. Nothing was left on transatlantic routes by 0500. I didn't bother to check the Asiatic path later in the afternoon because of the now badly deteriorated conditions.
Good DX!
