[Lowfer] Lowfer Digest, Vol 59, Issue 37

[ALAN MELIA]

Hi Paul well the Dst plunged to -40nT on the 20th and hasnt fully recovered yet. This is not enough to make a major change but might be enough extra absorption to wipe skywave at night, The consolation is that daytime responses were probable better than recent averages one or two days later??
This was probably caused by CMEs associated with the recent Solar flares.
