For those that use an ar-cluster spotting node you can now get real time
flare alerts. Ask your sysop about getting the solar monitor announces,
at this time he will have to add you to the distribution manually to get
them. The alerts normally come through as an event passes m1, m5(I
think), x1(I think), and with a peak value and time when its over.
These are taken from the #cqdx irc channel.
