    HARD RADIATION STORM: A powerful explosion on the sun today peppered Earth
    and nearby spacecraft with "hard" protons. The radiation storm fogged
    satellite cameras for hours. Following close behind, a CME is heading for Earth, and its arrival on June 10th could spark G2-class geomagnetic storms. Full story @ Spaceweather.com (https://spaceweather.com) .

    It sure put a dent in the WES SKCC sprintathon this weekend!

    I had fast fade on signal like 15 second in and out and then total loss of signal for a few minutes at a time on 40m (7Mhz).

    Made low power operations impossible though I was able to copy several stations.

    I bet it did. Sounds like it will continue to provide issues for at
    least another day (today).
