"X" marks the spot (on the Nobeyama heliogram). That's not rain. Some kind of signal overloading. Attachments:

It is showing Polar Cap Signal Absorption. It starts at low Radio Frequency and works its way up. The scale on the right shows the maximum frequency where absorption occurs Through all of Cycle 23 I never saw it go beyond Yellow |

Looking at the HAARP HF spectrum plot, it looks like we've already had 2 HF blackouts, starting at 1600Z (when that magnetic pulse hit). And I think I see the third one starting on the right edge (yellow arrows). Attachments:

This is the first SC24 X-class flare. The last X-flare was in Dec. 2006.

Japanese magnetometer showing magnetic pulse caused by X-Flare (increases ionospheric conductivity, increasing currents and thus magnetism). This is a much bigger pulse than the "blip" we saw on the M1.9 flare the other day. Not sure why the D-component is diminished, though. Attachments:

And I think I see the third one starting on the right edge (yellow arrows). But the HF bands here in Florida sound normal below 10Mhz. Radio Spain still blasting in at 9.35MHz. Dead above 10MHz, but that's been "normal" during the low solar activity. Anybody listening to HF on the other side of the world? Facing the Sun? |

The energy part of the discharge affects only the sunlit side of earth. When the Particles get here in another 24 to 48 hours that will be a different story. |
