Re: [Elecraft] X-class flare

2017-09-06 Thread Chuck Stover via Elecraft 
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!

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. Image courtesy of SDO/AIA."

Re: [Elecraft] X-class flare

2017-09-06 Thread Cady, Fred 
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.
