HF #Propagation Report - We have an ongoing strong geomagnetic activity G4/Kp8+, high solar activity (X5.1 11/1004 UTC) and an S2-S3 proton storm. The risk of further solar flares is significantly increased (M 85% X 55% Proton 99%). Disturbed HF propagation. #spaceweather #hamradio #hamr

HF #Propagation Report - Geomagnetic activity is expected to be mostly calm to active today, but stormy phases are possible due to CME effects. The sun is only moderately active, but there is a possibility for further stronger flares (M 70% X 25% proton 25%). #spaceweather #hamradio #hamr

Incoming CMEs are shaking up the Earth's magnetic field, and coronal hole CH94/- is slowly rotating into a geoeffective position. Space weather observers now expect the magnetic storm phase to continue through Saturday. This also applies to G3 warnings! Credit SWPC/NOAA #spaceweather #hamradio #hamr

Thanks to all my followers, you are the greatest. I never expected space weather reports to be so well received. I've been doing this for more than 20 years now, first for myself, then for others too. And yes, it's a lot of fun. But my thanks go especially to you <3 #spaceweather #hamradio #hamr
