A tale of two, 2 echoes.

Some moderate geomagnetic disturbances last night, with the Kp briefly climbing to 3 around midnight.

No DX spots at all on 14MHz WSPR overnight, but a nice long series of local 2E spots, which warrant some analysis.

First, the very well-sited 2E0XLG, about 480m up in the Yorkshire Dales, 159km from me:

Then, the not very well-sited, indoor dipole of 2E0WVY, 100km away in Liverpool (both graphs to same X and Y scales):

It's interesting to see that the variations in signal strength are clearly greater for the open, hilltop site of 2E0XLG than for the enclosed dipole of 2E0WVY.  But both systems respond to geomagnetic variations in more-or-less similar ways. 

For example, both stations show a reduction in signal strength around 01:00UT, when the Z field was undergoing a northwards variation, and the X field undergoing a much greater reduction in strength.  At around 03:00UT, both stations undergo an increase in signal strength as the field restores to quieter conditions.

It's useful to note that even stations as close as these two, and in very different siting conditions, can still yield useful information about the geomagnetic field conditions.
