Thx for the warning Kbop.

Sounds like my extra radios need to go into the faraday cage for a couple of days.

I get alerts from a ips-flare-alert digest when solar flares hit certain highs. Usually I receive an alert once a month or less. I have been getting one to two a day this week. Something is happening for sure.

My HF radios are in the faraday cage but none of my 2 meter radios are. I might put those in the cage for the next couple of days too.

Bringing Northern Lights with it.  Gonna be grand if you have never seen them.  So I hear and I haven't.

See note related to this by me somewhere close.
