Yep….during the Flare’s influence yesterday I experienced severe fading and sporadic blackouts on certain lower HF bands while chasing the E30FB and 9QOHQ expeditions.

 

But on the other hand, 10 meters experienced varying long period enhancements throughout the day for some interesting DX worked.  And….6 meters must have REALLY enjoyed enhanced ionosphere reflectivity in various regions of the world because I saw some East-West hemisphere to hemisphere spots taking place which looked like 6M was having some serious double (possibly triple) hop paths.
