Default Solar storm headed for Earth, may trash bands

SUN ERUPTS WITH INTENSE ACTIVITY

Forecasters at the NOAA Space Environment Center in Boulder, Colo.,
observed two dynamic areas of the sun, one of which has produced a
coronal mass ejection, or CME, Wednesday morning at 3 a.m. EDT that
appears to be Earth-directed. The forecasters are predicting a strong
geomagnetic storm, G-3 on the NOAA Space Weather Scales, that should
reach Earth on Friday, October 24.

Perfect timing for the CQ WW SSB Contest.

At least it's not the 'real' CQWW contest, things may have
settled down in a month or so.

Another CME today, not as directed towards Earth, but bigger and will
probably hit a glancing blow on the magnetic fields. Check out
