Red River Valley Amateur Radio Club
Amateur Radio in and around the Red River Valley Area of Northeast Texas
All,
We are going to start seeing issues related to a massive solar flare…pretty much any time. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a warning which is detailed in this CNN article. That article and NOAA Warning: “Severe Geomagnetic Storm” to impact Earth starting today both inform us that at least one 15-16 times the size of Earth is headed our way. It is apparently the first such warning since 2005 and this event is being compared to the Carrington Event of 1859. In that one telegraph wires melted. Think about that. Wires the size of your finger. What with all the micro-electronics we have now, this will be one that is interesting to observe.
