If this occurs in daytime over Europe that could mean up to or over 10dB enhancement to most daytime paths, but only for the period the flare is active. If you have unmetered access you could watch the real-time graph from the NOAA site www.sec.noaa.gov/today.html gives the general solar forecast www.sec.noaa.gov/rt_plots/xray_1m.html this gives the 1 minute updated real-time plot URL ...I think you can arrange it to alarm on the computer speaker as well. Otherwise I suppose you could listen for 80m skywave disappearing in the blackout phase. Cheers de Alan G3NYK Alan.Melia@btinternet.com
