X-Band in Carcassonne

Conditions have been very poor for the last week or so despite some F2 noted on 10m and US repeaters on 10m FM  being audible in the late afternoons. Just before the the sun erupted again and disturbed MF conditions started I recorded the X-Band as heard in our rural dx location outside Carcassonne. The video shows how quiet it was with audio from 1640 WTNI Biloxi MS, 1670 WPLA Dry Branch GA, 1630 KCJJ Iowa City IA and 1620 Radio Rebelde Cuba. 

Receiver is Perseus SDR with 300m BOG (Beverage on Ground).  Conditions went rapidly downwards the following nights with nothing of interest making it through.
