According to some George didn't do a thing since it's really Cheney who is in
charge. And with regards to this flare I'm absolutely certain that Cheney is
calling the shots on it from his secret bunker.

I can just see him there, hand on the joystick, evil grin on his face, zapping
the planet with x-ray's.

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.

I was getting some very strong crackling noises when it started. Not like
lightning but weird. I just moved into this new home and my have gotten some
RFI from around here but it ran right with the peak of the storm.

You forgot to include Cheney at the controls of HAARP and using it to
steer hurricanes.........yeah, that's the ticket - he used HAARP to
steer Katrina!

Why has this evaded the mainstream news?

I never heard Australia on 21,740 today and currently I don't hear them
on 17,795 and just barely getting them on 17,715 MHz.

Being an X class flare would cause blackout. If things get better tomorrow
one can expect some good dx in the following days " hopefuly. Cross your
fingers : )

75 Meters on the East Coast is under aurora watch.
Stations in 2 and 1 Land have moderate "echo chamber"
or "sewer pipe" audio effect on their signals as of 11:00 PM EST.
