Earlier tonight the AM band was terrible for AM DX reception, with very few exceptions. Noisy, with some usually strong regionals not appearing.
Shortwave, FWIW, was even worse.
Although XEPRS is peaking up behind the local (KPTR) on 1090 now and then, with Spanish talk. I used to hear XEPRS a lot stronger in years past, though. Their signal levels dived during and after the Solar minimum.
