A shock front preceding a coronal mass ejection disturbance has been observed upstream of the Earth. Impact of the disturbance is expected within the next hour. Periods of auroral storming are likely to be observed during the next 6 to 18 hours. Some middle latitude regions may spot activity.  Middle latitude regions near the U.S. / Canada border and somewhat south thereof may spot activity. Similarly, extreme northern regions of the U.K. and northern Europe, as well as extreme southern regions of Australia may spot periods of activity.

The near-new phase of the moon will not interfere with observations.

[div]Activity will be most easily observed near midnight. However, whether activity lasts that long is questionable.

It hit. Noise blankers and weak signal modes are on the menu for the next day or so

This is going to kill our good propagation and make some noise for a few days, isn't it?  Then is usually gets better after that if I remember correctly.

ETA:  Beat by Elijah1!

I woke up this morning trying to log some EU stations on 15 JT65. I thought for a second I had unhooked my sound interface. It was as dead as BHO chance of being NRA president.

Must be coming back. My 50 Watts CW into a trap dipole just got a 559 from a G6 on 40. He was using a SteppIR Yagi, though.

He's on 7.024 MHz.
