X-class flare
Locked
 
|
Just a few minutes ago at 0925z there was a massive solar flare.
The burst of X-rays totally turned off the HF bands. It sounds like my antenna fell down! Propagation will gradually return during the day, but a sudden event like this is exciting. "Region 2673 just produced a major X2.2 solar flare at approximately 09:10 UTC (Sept 6). This is the first X-Class event to be detected since May 2015. The active region is still in a decent position for Earth directed eruptions. More updates will be provided should a coronal mass ejection (CME) be associated. More to follow.

I had just dragged a coax cable through to the lounge to play with my KX2
in a comfy chair and could hear nothing! That explains it! There is a small amount of activity on 20m FT8 and JT65 that I can see, all close Eu stuff though. 73 Stephen G4SJP On 6 September 2017 at 10:49, Victor Rosenthal 4X6GP <[hidden email]> wrote: > Just a few minutes ago at 0925z there was a massive solar flare. > The burst of X-rays totally turned off the HF bands.

Wow!! That explains the S0-S1 noise floor on 80 meters on my P3
(SVGA)... I was wondering how that could be possible. ______________________ Clay Autery, KY5G MONTAC Enterprises (318) 518-1389 On 9/6/2017 4:49 AM, Victor Rosenthal 4X6GP wrote: > Just a few minutes ago at 0925z there was a massive solar flare. > The burst of X-rays totally turned off the HF bands.

While training to go to Byrd Station in 67/68 we were cautioned to not tear into our equipment when there were no signals. Evidently, an earlier crew saw all the instruments flat lined and tore into them and missed one of the most significant events.

Hey Vic and All,
I'm an airline pilot and just returned to the states today from Europe. The event occurred just after we coasted out off Ireland. Just barely able to get an HF SelCal check from Shanwick Radio. No joy later with Gander or New York. Listening to air to air VHF, no other flights could make contact either. Thankfully SatCom is primary for most of us today and HF secondary means of communications. There was a lot of relaying of position reports going on over the North Atlantic today for those caught out there with HF and no SatCom. Now that I'mhome and see the numbers.....WoW!
