[HCDX] big opening to Spain Sun. morning

[MarkWA1ION@xxxxxxx]

>From just before midnight on Sat. 28 JUN
to about 1 a.m. EDT (0500 UTC) on Sunday,
many stations from Spain were coming in
mostly on the upper end of the dial.
1296 and 1359 were incredibly loud; others
like 999, 1107, 1575, 1584, and many more
were pumping in good audio.  I've read all
the "A-index warnings" and I'm not sure
how this all relates.  I was expecting much
more auroral conditions that would kill off
most TA's.  Sao Tome - 1530 was noted with
VOA news in an even mix with WSAI at times.
