A X9.1 flare

 


TWO CMEs ARE HEADING FOR EARTH: Confirmed: Two CMEs are now heading for Earth following consecutive X-flares (X7.1 and X9.1) from active sunspot AR3842. According to NOAA and NASA models, the first will strike Earth on Oct 4th and the second (more potent) will strike on Oct. 6th. The dual impacts could spark strong G3-class geomagnetic storms with auroras at mid-latitudes, especially on Oct. 6th. Source: spaceweather.com

  1. Good morning Paul, looks like we are in for some stormy weather. Last evening I connected up my Zachtek unit and my goal is to see how the poor solar weather affects my signal. I have some reading when the solar conditions were smooth going and I would like to compare. I use the Grafana GUI software for my WSPR results.

  2. Hi Mike, that's what I often do, those comparisons are valuable. Even when conditions are bad. Have a nice weekend, 73 Paul
