[TenTec] X-Class Solar Flare

["Jim Reid" <jimr.reid@verizon.net>]

Well,  propagation to/from KH6 is now essentially nil!

An x-class solar flare exploded nearly straight overhead
out here about 45 minutes ago.  X ray photo of it was taken
after the peak,  view here:

Not sure how that URL will come through;  otherwise try:

Scroll down five images and click on the "green" image.

One of the last hurrahs of cycle 23?
