WHK on Tuesday night 11/11/2025

Usually at night, I'd hear audio interference from other 1420s. But tonight, while listening to "The Larry Elder Show", the sound was perfectly clear, as it is during daytime. I wonder if it is related to the environment or did WHK, accidently, not go to night power/pattern?
 
My guess is because of the auroral activity. Might have suppressed skywave traffic from elsewhere that could interfere, even in the local area.
Some southern stations, like WWL, were coming in really well last night. Chicago, Boston and New York were there when I checked around 10:30 but noticeably weaker than normal.

Tuesday night was remarkably "alive" in terms of distant stations coming into Cleveland. I even got a signal from Cuba on 710.

Last night, however, I was able to get a faint signal from WHSQ 880/New York (Chicago was lost in the mud) and a slightly noticeable WAKR 1590. That was about it.

I thought I heard something like that on 710, but WLW's slop was daytime-like here in the Columbus suburbs, meaning it was pretty much covering anything that could be heard on 690 and 710. That is always one indicator to me of auroral activity, given that WOR is audible here most nights.
The strength of even presence of graveyard signals from within 30 or so miles is another giveaway for me.
I plan to scan the dial again here in a few hours, taking more time than I did last night.
