MW blackout due to X7 solar flare
« on: October 02, 2024, 1202 UTC »
There was an X7 solar flare yesterday afternoon around 2220 UTC. You can see the effect it had on the MW band here in Westminster MD USA, blacking out signals.

The waterfall was produced with my sdrRewind program - https://www.blackcatsystems.com/
