There is currently a 'mega flare' on the Sun. I'm no expert, but I
believe this is very bad news for HF propagation.

Yes this was a big one with a R4 level radio blackout on the day lit
side of the earth when it occurred.

Looks like there will be more to come in the near future according to
this... http://www.sec.noaa.gov/advisories/bulletins.html

Looks like this happened again today.

Many of you probably know about this site, but for those of you that
don't, try visiting http://dx.qsl.net and choose the middle choice
(Propagation) of the main menu.

A *large* compendium of propagation info all in one place--D absorption,
X-ray flux, solar wind, auroral predictions, solar images from the SOHO
satellite and much more.
