March 2001

The 2000/2001 season ended unexpectedly March 18th.


1.3       Overnight recordings gave nothing.
2-5.3    No listening.
6.3       After midninght a few fine NA signals. I have a little tape to check here but probably nothing.
7-15.3  No listening.  Probably could have heard a little on March 12 and 13 if I had tried.
16.3     Fine signals when I switched on 0650 UTC! Signals long after sunrise. More westerly signals
             than normal this winter. Graveyard channels were full of signals.  Unfortunately my all night
             recordings were on totally wrong frequencies as I had not foreseen this .....
17.3     Continued fine reception from western USA after sunrise. Before sunrise only short peaks.
18.3-    Nothing.  The start of a long period of high solar and geomagnetic activity.
