You probably won't notice anything different. Possible but unlikely.
These things get painted up a little if it's a quiet news day. I
expect someone will blame it on global warming =-O (TIC just in case
someone believes that ).
HF radio communications _can_ be disrupted - I think all of us are on
VHF anyway so there's no foreseeable problems there.
Earlier today HF signals from USA on the 20 metre amateur band were very
good, but on the long path. That sort of thing that can happen too.
Solar flares can improve HF radio propagation conditions as well as
stuff them. I spoke to a bloke in Denver for a few minutes with very
good signal reports each way.

Hi all,
Just noticed this warning being talked about in the media - what kind
of impact(if any) would there be on gliding ops - I guess it would
only really affect XC....?
