Huge proton flux burst going on!

Proton events are almost always associated with energetic solar activity such as major flares. They are periods of increased proton bombardments at satellite altitudes. They can affect satellite transmission/reception if intense enough and can cause other satellite anomalies.

Proton events may affect the ability of a HAM operator to establish contact with a satellite, and may affect the quality of television signals received by satellite (ie. cable tv may be affected). Satellite proton events occur within a few hours of a major proton flare.

yep,
dangerous levels
around midday

stay shieled
with metal
(perhaps concrete also_
I forget which, good luck)
