[OKDXA] Flares

[N5PA]

Guys:

The level 9 X-Class Flare yesterday did as I predicted, it blanked out the
HF bands for a while and six meters was open last night.  Hopefully the
flares will not reoccur, but there is a strong chance for another one today.
One good note is that the SFI is over 100 and should make conditions good
for the 10 meter contest this weekend.  Currently the Solar Flux Index is
102 and the K-Index is 5 so conditions are improving but the geomagnetic
noise has increased drastically.  VU7LD is on 20 meters right now on phone
and CW.  Good Hunting!

73,
Alan, N5PA
