While training to go to Byrd Station in 67/68 we were cautioned to not tear into our equipment when there were no signals. Evidently, an earlier crew saw all the instruments flat lined and tore into them and missed one of the most significant events.

The burst of X-rays totally turned off the HF bands. It sounds like my antenna fell down! Propagation will gradually return during the day, but a sudden event like this is exciting. "Region 2673 just produced a major X2.2 solar flare at approximately 09:10 UTC (Sept 6). This is the first X-Class event to be detected since May 2015. The active region is still in a decent position for Earth directed eruptions. More updates will be provided should a coronal mass ejection (CME) be associated. More to follow.
