Here is a message from Al McWilliams who designed the McWilliams magnetometer, a simple easy-to-build device used by amateurs for over 20 years to make recordings of magnetic storms that match those of professional observatories. He mentions a web site where you can see that the 27 January satellite reentry was recorded worldwide. You must act fast though. The records last only 7 days on this site.

Hi Cap and All, At this site: http://geomag.usgs.gov/wwwplots/plots.html one sees that at least nine of the ground based geomagnetic observatories (Boulder, Guam, Fredericksburg, San Juan, Newport, Honolulu, Tucson, Fresno, and Sitka) clearly show the 1450UT event on 27 January 2000. This site only goes back 7 days so you have to view it immediately. My record shows no clear event (just a small blip which could very well be noise).
