[CW] Flares, Coronal Holes and Radio Blackouts

[Danny Douglas]

I would love to see a report like this, for past years.  Say the early 60s, when I sat in Ethiopia with complete radio blackouts for 1 or 2 days on end, only to have another happen a week later.  Back then, we had few reports of any kind, except for observed spot numbers.

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
