[HCARC] HF Conditions _ Geomagnetic Storm

[Kerry Sandstrom]

The f0F2 started climbing about sunrise as it should but then at 1400 Z 
it started dropping and has been running between 5 and 4 MHz all day.   
A poor day on the higher bands!   Probably a good evening to watch for 
auroral signals on HF and sporadic E and TE on 15, 10 and 6 m.  A day 
like this you can never tell what might happen, especially if there is 
some sporadic E around.
