[PPRAANet] solar storms headed towards earth

[K3ILC]

A surprise geomagnetic storm is underway on May 14th.  Storm levels are 
currently at G2 (moderately strong).  More geomagnetic storms are 
predicted on May 15 and May 16 (G1 and G2 levels).  These are from 
multiple CMEs generated near sunspot AR2741.
See http://spaceweather.com/archive.php?view=1&day=14&month=05&year=2019 
for more information. Last night, the Planetary K-Index reached 7, which 
is a major event.  Geomagnetic storms usually result in high signal 
absorption at lower frequencies, but almost anything is possible at 
higher frequencies, like the 50 Mhz band (we're probably too far south 
to experience auroral propagation).  Also see
