Propagation Notes: Reception occurred during the major geomagnetic storm of 13–14 July 1982, one of the strongest of Solar Cycle 21 (minimum Dst ≈ −325 nT). A rapid increase in solar wind dynamic pressure caused a widespread depletion of the F2-layer critical frequency (foF2), significantly reducing maximum usable frequencies on many paths. Despite generally poor shortwave propagation, southward paths into Mexico and South America remained open, allowing reception of Radio México Internacional (15430 kHz), RAE (11710 kHz), Radio El Mundo (11755 kHz), Radio El Espectador (11835 kHz), and XEQM Mérida (6105 kHz). All signals exhibited pronounced flutter and rapid fading, resembling auroral/polar flutter, consistent with severe ionospheric disturbances during the storm.

Was able to hear the very last pip out of CHU Canada, on 7850 kHz. A weaker signal was heard on 14670 kHz, and 3330 kHz was inaudible due to noise. No fanfare, just the usual English then French announcement, the minute tone and... just one pip past that at 14:10:01 UTC (10:10:01 AM EDT). After the carrier dropped, a pirate station appeared almost immediately on the same frequency, playing the Looney Tunes "That's all, folks!" and DickBulger.com audio over WWV time pips. Recorded in USB.
