Hello. I enjoyed a drive from Boston to Georgetown Wednesday night while
listening to all the local AM's in night pattern like it was daytime. WHAV
1490 from Haverhill was coming in very listenable in Peabody, Danvers! WNSH
was listenable all through Route 1 from Saugus up through Georgetown. Many
other examples like 830 from Worcester, 1150 coming in at night in Topsfield
etc.. The only skywave signals that came in was just a little of WTOP, a
very faint WQEW and WHAM, and no 1010 WINS at all.
  There has been many substantial M-Class solar flares that has effected the
radio spectrum below 2MHz. See this link:

This was their Forecast pasted below:

Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled on November 18.
CME impacts are possible on November 19 and 20 and could cause active to
major storm conditions. Low frequency (below 2 MHz) radio wave propagation
along east-west paths over high and upper middle latitudes is generally fair
to poor.

This may explain the North South WTOP propagation and the poor
East West signals.

Below are a few of my other favorite solar links: (Very timely)
