[NZ4O Spaceweather] Large M Class Solar Flare

[Thomas F. Giella NZ4O]

I was listening to an international shortwave station on 9480 kc when the 
signal suddenly disappeared at 1738 UTC. At 1800 UTC the signal has 
returned.

>> It looks like we just had a large M class solar flare explosion at around 
>> 1738 UTC. It produced a sudden ionosphere disturbance (SID) and attendant 
>> radio blackout that has wiped out the shortwave radio spectrum as high as 
>> approximately 10000 khz on the sun facing side of the earth.
