Dear Seniors,

Initially let me tell you about my set up - I have a TS 520SE and one
MFJ 9420X (QRP for 20 Mt SSB only) and a Dipole and a Short Beam (with 4
Loading coils) for 20 Mt. One more dipole with 2 Loading coils to work
40 Mt. and 80 Mt. and a desktop computer within the shack which is
connected throughout the day with internet. 

I am interested in monitoring the solar activity here in India also.
Can you tell me what kind of setup and what all hardware I need to carry
out the monitoring - also what is the best software to carry out this
activity. I understand there is one "S-Meter Lite" please tell me if
there are other user friendly software available to do so.

Hi,

Here is an interesting item...  I was monitoring 20 MHz., noise at that
time...  Flare is clearly visible in the noise level graph.  If
interested I can post it somewhere...

At 0144 UTC on February 15, 2011 the first X class solar flare of solar 
cycle 24 occurred. It was an X2.2. It produced a sudden ionospheric 
disturbance (SID) and attendant radio blackout that has wiped out the 
shortwave radio spectrum as high as approximately 35000 khz on the sun 
facing side of the earth.

What do you use to monitor via a noise level graph, please?

Hi,

I used my 756 PRO III, a low dipole, (so as to force the pattern up, as
opposed to out to the side...  Cloud Warmer...  All on 20 MHz.

A program called S-METER Lite, and Excel to graph it...  The odd thing
was that this morning when I started it, I was just trying to see if I
could even see noise changes.  I really did not expect to see much,
then saw the post about the flare at 1722, looked at the graph and
there was a very clear disturbance in the graph.

Is it just a coincidence that the eruption time is almost exactly the
same as the big one the other day?

Hi Mike same sunspot group (#11158) but the timing of the two solar
flares 
is coincidental.
