[ARRL-OK] Solar Event

[arrl-ok@mailman.qth.net]

 strong geomagnetic storm with the potential to
affect electrical grids and satellite communications
was expected to hit Earth today. One of the largest
sunspot clusters in years developed over the past
three days and early Wednesday produced a coronal mass
ejection, similar to a solar flare, forecasters at the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said.
The disturbance was expected to result in a
geomagnetic storm with an aurora visible as far south
as Illinois and New York.
