Hi Paul a major geomag storm occured around midnight UTC on the 14/15th. 
This precipitated hot electrons into the D-region which causes extra 
attenuation at night and enhanced daytime long distance signals. The daytime 
effect is usually short lived but the night-time absorbtion may continue for 
a few nights, as the ionoshere exchanges charge with the Ring Current (Van 
Allen belts)
