 >I recall this contest and the flare as well.

         Me too!  Without going into my log I recall it recovered 
very quickly on 10m.  My rates don't look much different than I would 
expect for the second day around 16-17z, given that this is the time 
I normally stop running and do S&P on the second day.  Just to 
support the idea that 10m is affected the least by flares, this is 
the current USA record for SOSB/10.

"Sticking external relay on WX0B (I thought that was the problem when the flare
hit at 1645 Sunday!)"
