I can't believe how poor reception is on 40 and 75. I hear guys in the gulf area that should be blasting each other out of their socks on ground wave not being able to hear each other at all. I also hear a lot of "whistlers" on 40 - they are variable frequency warbles that slowly drift up and down the spectrum under the right ionospheric conditions. This is my first solar flare experience, and it's been a real eye opener. The timing of it couldn't be worse.
