Huge X-flare just hit us...

Within a few minutes all signals on shortwave are complete erased and only noise can be heard from 1.8 to 30Mhz....
Just building at the antennas, I thought my equipment is hit by a static discharge and dead (as we have some thunderstorms arround) but is is just the X-flare switching the ionosphere off....

Yes, the sun is awake, and instead of builing beverage antennas for the low bands the coming years is building big Yagis for 20m and up.... hi
