[Icom] 756ProII backlight / band conditions

[Tomas Hood - NW7US]

We are in the beginnings of a possible superstorm (geomagnetic
minor to major storms).  We have had X-class and M-class flares, as
well as proton events.  This will continue for about one to two
weeks.

See http://prop.hfradio.org - where I have a lot of details
regarding this.
