Just a few minutes ago at 0925z there was a massive solar flare.
The burst of X-rays totally turned off the HF bands. It sounds like my 
antenna fell down!

Propagation will gradually return during the day, but a sudden event 
like this is exciting.

"Region 2673 just produced a major X2.2 solar flare at approximately 
09:10 UTC (Sept 6). This is the first X-Class event to be detected since 
May 2015. The active region is still in a decent position for Earth 
directed eruptions. More updates will be provided should a coronal mass 
ejection (CME) be associated. More to follow. Image courtesy of SDO/AIA."
