Just think of those roads devoid of traffic, for riding on though!

And with a Solar Storm & a CME that might hit earth within the next few days.
Partial Solar Eclipse in the USA today.

No good for amateur radio then... :thumbsdown:

Prepared jointly by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA,
Space Weather Prediction Center and the U.S. Air Force.
UPDATED 2014 October 29 1230 UTC


.24 hr Summary...
Solar activity was at moderate levels during the period. Region 2192
(S12W78, Fkc/beta-gamma-delta) produced three M-class (R1-minor) flares
during the period, including an M1/Sf at 28/1406 UTC, an M1/Sf at
29/0820 UTC, and an M1 at 29/1001 UTC. As with the vast majority of the
previous flare activity, no significant radio signatures were noted, and
none of the events appeared to produce significant Earth-directed
eruptions.

Due to Region 2192s location, just rotating off the visible disk,
accurate areal coverage and magnetic structure are difficult to
determine. However, based on the imagery available as it transits the
limb, it looked to be mostly unchanged and still very capable of
producing M- (R1/R2- Minor-Moderate) and X- (R3-Strong) class flares.

Regions 2197 (S13E08, Dso/beta) and 2198 (S13W25, Dso/beta) both
exhibited signs of growth, while the other regions on the visible disk
were either stable or in decay.

.Forecast...
Additional M-class (R1-R2, minor to moderate) flares are expected and
there is a chance for an isolated X-class (R3 or greater) event for days
1 and 2 (29-30 Oct). As Region 2192 rotates off the visible disk on day
three (31 Oct), M-flares remain likely with a continued chance for an
X-class event.

@172traindriver Just watched a good team...
Hala Madrid:thumbsup:

Hardly the greatest test Madrid will face this season @Bobby Mhor :laugh:

Not if it hits and could be costly if the equipment is powered up.

I fancy my chances with a Solar flare more than I would with a 5 element yagi on top of the Mendips just as an electrical storm is starting :hyper:
