[HCDX] New X Class Flare and Radio Blackout



  As of approximately 1710 UTC today we are experiencing a new huge X8+
class solar flare and associated shortwave blackout on the sun light side of
Earth centered on the America's. D layer absorption is impacting as high as
30,000 KC and climbing rapidly. I was listening to the BBC on 21470 kc when
it abruptly disappeared!
  Also a new elevated energetic proton level of >10 MeV (10+o) has begun,
which is a tip of that another geo-effective (Earth Facing) Coronal Mass
Ejection (CME) is on the way and probably renewed geomagnetic storming.
