[CQ-Contest] X9.2 Flare at 1725Z 2-XI-2003

[Tomas (NW7US)]

At 1725Z 2-XI-2003 an X9.2 flare occurred.  Radio blackout is in progress on the 
sunlit side of the Earth.  Estimated time to recovery: 1H 14M. Flare was 
possibly from region 488.  The >100 MeV Proton readings are quite elevated.  
This might have a possible CME associated with it.  However, if the flare is 
from region 488, it will only glance us, if there is a CME.
