Eruptive Flare/ Minor Radiation Storm

A long duration M-Flare reaching M6.3 was just observed around AR 3229 in the northwest quadrant. The event was responsible for a moderate (R2) radio blackout which would have mostly affected frequencies below 15 meters (21 MHz). Coronal dimming is clearly evident suggesting a coronal mass ejection (CME) will be associated. More details to follow. Stay tuned to SolarHam.com for the most up to date information.
