On Oct 3rd, a couple of back to back solar flares (one being X9 class) has sent two CME's earthward. Most Powerful Solar Flare in 7 Years Blasts Earth: Expect Stunning Auroras

As a result, the NOAA has declared a G3 Storm Watch for 04-06 October: G3 (Strong) Watches in Effect for 04-06 October with Two CMEs in Route | NOAA / NWS Space Weather Prediction Center

Expect HF blackouts and rough band conditions for the next few days. Northern lights are expected to be visible at lower than usual latitudes.

G3 + at the moment, so maybe a couple days. Haven't done much HF, but nice clear nights, maybe some aurora spotting.
