M8 Solar Flare Destroys Pirate Radio (yet again)

[ChrisSmolinski]

M8 flare currently in progress. Most of HF is wiped out here. Some signal strength eye candy graphs: http://www.hfunderground.com/propagation/

I'll try to throw together a blog entry with some graphs and such. I need some meaningless pie charts, then I can be just like USA Today.

I had the white pine which supported my dipole cut down this week due to a tree disease, and I was just rigging up an impromptu EWE to replace it.  This appeared to be dead, so I checked the solar numbers...Guess I'll have to wait a day or two to make a realistic evaluation!

Now (1807) signals are starting to return on the upper end of HF. 20 MHz WWV is S3, and 7850 CHU is about S1. They (and just about everything else) were completely gone earlier.

Woe is me ! Despair in the doldrums mate's. Haven't heard a signal outside my QTH for 5 days. 
Will it ever stop. Out ,dam spot, out.   I'll have to resort to using web receivers from  less affected areas.

Smoke em if ya got em .We ain't going no where.

Maybe I should use this time to reflect inwardly OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMM F#@$  that ! Too Scary.

The behavior of charged particles in a magnetic field was first explained mathematically by the well-known "Maxwell's Equations". These were first put forth by the famouse 19th century physicist, Maxwell Smart.

The inventor of the phone booth,Maxwell Smart?

The Maxwell Smart that has dropped the Cone of Silence on my SW radio

Peace!

Does the shoe phone still work?
