Great photos Dan!
I saw the following notice posted from the ARRL previously.

To all radio amateurs

The quiet geomagnetic conditions and big sunspots of last week
couldn't last forever, and unfortunately there was some geomagnetic
upset on Saturday, October 30, the first day of the CQ World Wide DX
Phone weekend. Conditions weren't terrible, although higher latitude
and polar paths were more difficult.

A huge sunspot (693) emerged the day before the contest, October 29,
and it moved into position for greatest effect on earth around
November 2-3. Another sunspot (696) is moving into prime
earth-facing position over the next day or two. A coronal mass
ejection from sunspot 696 blasted into space on November 4, and the
energy from that event is expected to hit us late November 5 or on
November 6. The predicted planetary A index for November 5-8 is 15,
30, 25 and 15. The predicted solar flux for those same days is
around 140. This is a little higher than it has been over the past
week. This week average daily sunspot numbers dropped a little less
than two points to 139. Average daily solar flux rose four points to
134.6."
