Solar garbage is being spewed on us, with no solar flares of late... yet K-index did reach 5, badly affecting #mediumwave & some #shortwave prop.

If you're interested, you may have a peek at a spreadsheet, with which I've analyzed the impact of @radionacional.bsky.social & @radio5rne.rtve.es MW shutdown... just know it'll be HUGE❗🌋

Frequency-wise, RNE transmitters are found on 33 frequencies from 531 to 1503 kHz.
When all of them close by the end of the year, 7 freqs will become COMPLETELY DEAD in Europe 💀
585 612 684 738 774 864 kHz.
They'll join 594 702 1161 1206 & 1242 kHz, for a total of 12.

The planned big #AMradio shutdown of @radionacional.bsky.social & @radio5rne.rtve.es is more than just public radio abandoning #mediumwave
Of 544 MW transmitters still on air in Europe, 102 are RNE's.
19%.
But if we filter out low-power (<1kW) stations: 102 out of 364
28%❗🔪❣️🩸🩸🩸

A new gadget has arrived to Arnie HQ 🤓 will be tested thoroughly in the coming days, perhaps even with the Qodosen on MW... 😜

Co lepsze, na TVP VOD (i prawdopodobnie w mobilnej apce TVP Stream) też zdowngrade'owali TVP1 i TVP Sport do 720p bo mecz. Do tego streamy raz się odpalają, a raz nie. Ale grunt, że TVP Info działa, odpala się domyślnie po każdym odświeżeniu strony, i do tego politycy se gadają w 1080p! 🤣 #POLNED

I've seen their signature split carrier there for many years, but never had any decent audio out of it.
Until today.
And it's very decent!

The CME is really struggling to produce any #aurora, but despite that, I do see a significant enhancement of stations south of me on #mediumwave 🙂
This particularly concerns the many Greek pirates and Italian licensed private broadcasters, who are beating signal strength records 🔥

Voice of Vietnam in ruZZian on 9730 appears OK too.
But both Voice of Korea on 9425 and KBS World Radio on 9515 kHz are near-threshold signals. CNR1s on 9810-9830-9845-9860 are way down too, although the SE-facing 9810 kinda less so.
Even worse on Twente WebSDR.

The G4 geomagnetic storm, proton flux 1000x exceeding the warning level, and strong polar absorption are really taking the toll on #shortwave signals globally.
The only strong signals on 31m (9 MHz) are radars, 9490 Turkey in Farsi, 9540 IBRA via UAE, and a few CRIs.

Guess I missed last night's #aurora, both on sky and on radio... or not?
I was running MSHV decoding 80m #FT8. It seemed OK... until I saw #9U1RU responding to European stns.
A bit later they came w/ CQ & grid square: KI46
