[TowerTalk] Sun broke

[K8RI on Tower talk]

You might want to rethink that request.  The last time it popped a big one 
pointed at us even 6 AU was deader than a door nail durring the peak.  The 
absorbption was so high nothing was working long haul and that was nothing 
like the class X-17 of last week.  They figure had that one been pointed at 
us even the power grids would have been going down.  Remember Quebeck some 
years back?
