[HCDX] Propagation on MW this week

["Jouko Huuskonen" <jouko.huuskonen@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Propagation on MW this week (37) has been very strange due to the geomagnetic storm. On 1377 kHz I can under normal conditions hear  France Info, Lille 300 kW. Sometimes a Chinese station. This week at 1730 UTC the dominating station has been TWR Gavar, Armenia signing on at 1725 UTC.

18 UTC on 1314 kHz I´ve been hearing BBC Al Dhabbaya, United Arab Emirates instead of  NRK´s powerhouse.

Last wednesday 14.9. almost the only station on MW-dial around 18 UTC was YLE Pori. MW-band was almost totally silent except some stations from Iran and Romania. For some reason during the geomagnetic storms mw-stations from Italy, Romania and Iran come with exceptional good reception. Selection is very limited indeed.
