Big flare - radio blackout
I was listening to Radio Netherlands when they dropped out on 17,735 and
15,315 with the usual very strong signal and they just dropped into the noise. Transmitter trouble? Nope, big solar flare. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

Nope, big solar flare. Yeah, it was pretty bad around 1630. Things came up again but now have dropped off a bit. dxAce Michigan USA |

They are starting to come back on 15,315 MHz but I still don't here them on 17,735 MHz. I thought it would be the other way around. They are missing on 17,660 MHz also. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

Because of the suns position relative to your location you are currently experiencing more absobtion than I am. See: http://www.sec.noaa.gov/rt_plots/dregion.html dxAce Michigan USA |

They are back on all three frequencies and like you 17,660 MHz out of Canada is best followed by the Antilles frequencies. 15315 is S8 at 20:05. 17660 is S9 at 20:05. 17735 is S6 at 20:05. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

Isn't that page an excellent real time resource! You can watch solar flare effects on D-region absorption events and how they affect your reception in real time! -- Telamon Ventura, California |

But this isn't the issue. Did George Bush have prior knowledge of this
solar flare??? And is he to blame for it? |
