Space Weather Ops dashboard
The dashboard on my site has been updated so that it's more responsive on mobile displays.
Today I also made a number of refinements, including the addition of sending alerts to a Pushover account (click the Push button above the Event Log panel). A free Pushover account is needed.
The number of parameters that can trigger alerts has been expanded.
Space Weather
The CME launched by this morning's X1.5 flare is likely to give Earth a glancing blow late on 31 March or early 01 April.
Radio Propagation
The 10m and 6m bands now have openings between Europe & Middle East to S America, and USA to S America, but the higher bands are fading as the sun sets.
Radio Propagation
The 10m band is now active between Europe and everywhere across the Atlantic. The vast majority of these contacts are FT8 mode.
Radio Propagation
Meanwhile, if you drop down to the 15, 17 and 20m bands, you'll get all the N American DX you need!
Radio Propagation
10m band (28 MHz) radio propagation between Europe and N America is poor this afternoon. From Europe, the band is open to S America, S Africa and the Far East.
Space Weather
Another view of the X1.5 flare, this time with SDO's AIA171 filter. This highlights the magnetic "slinky" expanding from the eruption site.
Space Weather
An X1.5 flare from AR4405 (in the south-east quadrant) peaked at 03h19 UT 30 March. A strong R3 radio blackout affected the western Pacific, Far Eastern and Australasian regions.
A type II radio emission was observed.
A CME was observed.
Confidence is not high for a big solar storm, although Nasa modelling now suggests a big hit is possible. Whatever the outcome, there will likely be increased chances for aurora photographers in the coming days.
Radio Propagation
You can use filtering to check the propagation for a single station, region country or continent.
