[PaQSO] PaQSO - 40m bad?

[Jimk8mr at aol.com]

There is a G2 level geomagnetic storm in progress, the Kp Index is 6.   So 
yes, conditions do suck.
 
Point those beams north.  There may be a good aurora opening from all  this.
 
For the good news department, there is a tiny sunspot out there, and the  
sunspot number is 12! 
 
Got the mobile here installed and ready for tomorrow's trip.  Hope  things 
quiet down by then!

I'm on  40m right now checking the band and it sounds terrible.  I hear about 
10  mostly weak stations and none apparently can hear me calling them.  Maybe 
 the problem is on my end?  Is it that bad for everyone else,  too?

I hope the bands aren't as bad as they were last  year..    ;-(
