Its Sunday early evening (1700 EDST/2100UTC) and I have not really heard anything on HF all day long. I am thankful that the solar flare did not occur earlier or it might of really ruined yesterday’s IARU Contest . However its with us today and really making a mess of things. Please use the following link to visit the Ottawa Citizen for their story on the Solar Flare that is disrupting things as I type.
Massive blast of radiation from a huge solar flare headed for Earth.

Here is a 2nd article from the Citizen on the same topic
Thanks to the Ottawa Citizen for the articles and enjoy the rest of your weekend and lets hope for good HF conditions again soon.

Good evening, yes the sun is playing games again and as you said it’s good things held off more or less for the duration of the IARU contest. Great links and articles on your blog as well about the solar storm.
