At the beginning of the radiogram on 9400 kHz the "usual transmission 
failure" after a few seconds.  Is it possible that here only (every 
week) a normal transmitter or antenna change takes place?

Both events in comparison:

".......Elements of the US Department of Defense (DOD) will conduct a
"communications interoperability" training exercise November 4-6,
once again simulating a "very bad day" scenario. Amateur Radio
and MARS organizations will take part.
"This exercise will begin with a national massive coronal mass
ejection event which will impact the national power grid as well
as all forms of traditional communication, including landline
telephone, cellphone, satellite, and Internet connectivity,..........."

When satellite communications collapse, then there is still useful 
short-wave reflection at the ionosphere?
I can not really believe it.
One thing is important in any case: self-sufficient power supply. So, 
always reserve a few full batteries for the radio.
