[RSM] Major X1 class flare

[ed_richardson at shaw.ca]

Well conditions were too good to last. Seemed ol'sol fired off a major flare
this morning at about 10:30 CDT.  This is the strongest flare this cycle and
the CME is expected to directly hot earth sometime on Friday. You guessed
it, right in time for CQWW.  

 

Perhaps  Jerry VE6TL can chime in on the possible effects for this weekend.
We could spend the weekend working 50/144 MHz aurora.
