The flare prompted a call from a friend who was operating his remote HF/6m station in Puerto Rico. He thought something had happened to the radio. Told him he either had his G5RV knocked off the tower or someone tinkered with radio controls. Then i told him maybe a solar flare reached earth. Looks like my guess was correct.
