Tuesday 31st of March 2020. The FT8 frequency on the 28 MHz band was eerily quiet all morning with just one signal from Poland heard. Note that the lack of Sporadic-E signals may have been because the Kp index was at 4. i.e. There was a disturbance in the earths magnetic field.
A high K index is normally associated with poor Sporadic-E conditions.
Things seemed to improve in the evening with a modest opening to Brazil.
