M6.5 Solar Flare
« on: April 02, 2014, 1423 UTC »
We had an M6.5 solar flare this morning, peaking at around 1400z. It wiped out the lower bands, CFRX 6070 was completely gone, and CHU 7850 was mostly gone.

Here is a waterfall I captured, you can see several solar noise bursts (the bright yellow patches), around 24 MHz:
