[Boatanchors] Radio Blackout Going On?

[K5MYJ]

At the start of the contest this morning I started DX Lab to look at the RBN 
info. NOTHING THERE! I thought DX Lab may be screwed up again. So I started 
it on the second computer. SAME RESULT.

The I saw these messages.

Then I looked at IonoProbe. It told me about the solar flare!
