I always monitor the CB band for skipland. Today was a decent day for it as the BZ component was in the green at 6. Both MUF anf Critical F2 aligned correctly. I recorded 6 and a half minutes of it.

Look how the lines match up between the MUF and Critical F2 map and the spacing is wide. Signals travel farther and faster perpendicular to them.
Last image is from hamqsl.net solar data page. Notice BZ is in green. That is a northward polarity component(per Dr. Tamitha Skov) allowing for DX-ing on 11 meter CB band. K index is low and noise level is low in the geomagnetic field.
