X-9.8 solar flare this morning, this is going to play hell with HF radio communications.

AF6LJ:
This is a big deal....
From Spaceweather.com.....

MAJOR X-CLASS SOLAR FLARE: On Sept. 6th at 1202 UT, sunspot AR2673 unleashed a major X9.3-class solar flare--the strongest solar flare in more than a decade. X-rays and UV radiation from the blast ionized the top of Earth's atmosphere, causing a strong shortwave radio blackout over Europe, Africa and the Atlantic Ocean (blackout map). The explosion also produced a CME. However, available coronagraph images are not yet sufficient to determine whether or not the CME is Earth-directed. Please stay tuned for updates about this event.

Not so good here also..

Starting to hear signals again now. That was one serious drop out.. Could not hear a single station, not even on CW. So seems to coming in waves. That last one lasted about 20 minutes or so.
