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

621.4 (!) kHz: IRIB Radio Kharavan, Birjand, noted way off-freq today... normally not noted at all in this listening location, imagine that 😳 #mediumwave #mwdx #aurora

595 kHz: Morocco!

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!

NEW LOG! 🥳🥳🥳🎆🎆🎆 #mediumwave #mwdx #aurora

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.

Ladies and Gentelmen... WE GOT IT!!!

The Carrington Event of 2025.

And as NOAA predicts, THAT'S NOT ALL YET! ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡

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

BURUNDI HEARD IN POLAND ON 80M 😱😱😱😱😱😱

Oh yeah, that high level of protons is actually rising again 😬👹 #spaceweather

Guess I should have checked 17490 for CRI aka CGTN Radio to Europe, like yesterday.

Well, too late for major effects now but still it's noisy 🙃☀️🌩️😡

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!

A 3rd X-class flare for the 3rd day in a row, ONGOING!!! ⚡⚡⚡

And it's the strongest one: X5.29, by GOES-19 😱😱😱

Note: CMEs from the past 2 days' X-flares are arriving as we speak. Proton flux has already skyrocketed yesterday.

Bye bye #MWDX, good luck to all on HF... #spaceweather

17490 is improving somewhat but that's nowhere a quick process #shortwave #spaceweather
November 10, 2025 at 10:15 AM
X1.24 acc. to GOES-19 satellite, via SWPC.

2nd day of X-class flares in a row❗☀️🌩️😡

Oh yes, indeed a massive blackout is in progress... #shortwave is dead, even 15350 Turkey & 17490 CRI - normally huge signals here - are super weak 😱😱😱 #spaceweather

Because G7IZU appears to have missed this...

WE GOT A G3 GEOMAGNETIC STORM❗❗❗❗❗❗❗🌩️🌩️🌩️🌩️🌩️🌩️🌩️🌩️

Planetary K-index peaked 6.67 in the 03-06z period today.

This didn't trigger any #aurora #FMDX logs in FMLIST, prob. due to #tropo, esp. across CZE & GER...
