For me at least, the air has been dead for a couple of weeks now. I get lots of stations from China, all the big US ones from WRMI and Radio Marti, but not much else.

We really got whacked... G4 level storm right now bordering on G5. Northern lights should be visible as far south as Alabama and Northern California. NOAA Space Weather Scales | NOAA / NWS Space Weather Prediction Center

Aurora filtered through the clouds. I'm hoping it will clear during the night.

I picked up weather stations I've never picked up tonight but short wave was pretty bad.

After many of the clouds moved off, the Aurora popped in beautiful colors. The Solar Flux Index was 216 this morning. The CQWW DX contest in two weeks should be interesting.
