[RVRC] We are being bombarded with solar flares

[Marvin Bronstein]

We are being bombarded with solar flares over the past week.  Several daily!   This one an M-5.6 just ended at 8:29 p.m. local time.

This morning I worked 2 stations in Ukraine on 15 meters with 5 x 5 reports running my 100 watts with the tri-band beam facing west (worked off the back of the beam).
Yesterday I worked several stations along the west coast on 10 meters with 5 x 9 reports.

Check out 10 meters mid-day if you can!
