Thanks to AA7FV for this.

This video, whose link I took from the CWops group, helps to explain why
conditions today were so bad.  Talk of M-flares, Coronal Holes and Radio
Blackouts over the coming week.

*The Sun shows its angry face again as two regions that sent us 7 big
flares just two weeks ago rotate back into Earth view. They have already
fired off one near M-class flare and launched a non-Earth-directed solar
storm. Amateur radio operators should expect possible radio blackouts on
the dayside of Earth this week*
