Hi Michael I would be surprised if that was an effect from the flare. From 
your plot the path is in darkness so is shielded fron the radiation. Whilst 
massive X-Class flares can sometimes be detected in the shadow due to 
diffusion, I doubt the ionisation in a C-Class flare is sufficient to make 
the difference. I would rate it as a "good" period, maybe constructive 
"fading". The Dst has crawled back to -30nT, not spectacular, but good 
enough to support some signals.
Best Wishes
