[ADXA] New Super Fox

[Steven Rutledge]

This completely blanked 40 meters this morning, at least on the east 
coast.  Steve, N4JQQ

Two days after an X-7.1 solar flare, today at 12:18Z the sun produced an 
even greater X9.0 flare, the second largest one of Solar Cycle 25. A G3 
magnetic storm is expected to start later today, probably lasting into 
Friday. Then as that one subsides, the plasma from today's X9.0 flare 
should arrive. This CME (Coronal Mass Ejection) was from sunspot group 
3842, which is presently in the center of the sun and is directly facing 
the earth.

It looks like we may have clear weather by Sunday. We will have a waxing 
crescent moon with the moon setting around 7:30 PM, so we should have a 
dark sky to observe what might be a nice aurora display.

Both of these flares may trigger 6 Meter TEP (Trans Equatorial 
Propagation) openings in the next 72 hours. Stay tuned!

73,
Rich - K1HTV
