Title: THE SKY IS FALLING
Post by: Skipmuck on September 11, 2014, 0028 UTC

When I logged into AOL this evening to check my email, I was amused to find out that this afternoon's X1.6 solar flare was making headlines! Nothing at all in the article about us hapless shortwave enthusiasts. I did notice that earlier today, WWV on 10, 15, and 20 MHZ was basically inaudible. Anyway, isn't solar activity supposed to be on the down cycle?

You won't get Al to bite on that one. He's out patrolling the beaches for the Islamo-Penguins he expects to invade on 9/11.

I think he and some character called Murphy are taking turns pushing each other in a wheelbarrow up and down the Outer Banks?
