I took my KX1 outside to see if I could track down a router-ish noise on 
20m, and when I couldn't I switched to 30M as I was using a 30M MFJ 
short loaded whip.  I heard SM4OTI booming in.  I put the KX1 on top of 
the car for ground and gave Steve a call, but no joy.  I came inside and 
got an "QRZ 5N" answer with 5W from my K3 and SteppIR short dipole, and 
completed the QSO with 25W.

So maybe the solar flare is clearing!
