KNTS-1680 in Seattle has been off the air since mid-February. I have no idea why, and no STA is mentioned in fccdata.org. KGED in Fresno has been dominating here with KNTS off.

Samoa
Samoa 540. What a difference a water path makes!
Tuning around this morning and I noted a super powerful signal playing Islands music on 539.9998. The music was continuous from what I could make between 09 and sudden cut-off at 11:02:36 UTC. It can’t be anyone else but 2PA Apia, Samoa. What an awesome signal. It would be nice if they’d ID at sign-off like Radio Marshalls/Majuro on 1098! Normally I hear CBC SK on this channel, and sometimes Tijuana, Mexico, but not this morning. MP3 attached.

Space Weather
AN ‘EQUINOX CME’ IS COMING: Earlier today, an Earth-directed solar flare launched a CME almost directly toward our planet. It is due to arrive just hours before the northern vernal equinox, setting the stage for amplification via the Russell-McPherron effect. Mid-latitude auroras are possible on March 19-20. Full story @ Spaceweather.com.
