Australia (VK6 & VK8) into the PNW on 50mHz late afternoon 31 October. Wow! Man, that makes me wish I had a 6 meter antenna up. OK, I wish I had any antenna up right now, the joys of apartment living. :)

It reads like the Income Tax Laws doesn't it?Maybe the same people are behind income taxes and solar flares. I'm thinking "persons of cloven hoof."

They must spend half of each orbit (daylight portion) in the "sheltered" portion of the ISS. I really doubt that it provides much.
The neutrons and energetic gamma rays will just pass right through that wimpy little station (and it's occupants).
People around here say not to worry, the charged particles are shielded by the earth's magnetosphere. But I can't help but thing there is a lot of bremsstrahlung, compton scattering, pair production, and secondary gamma emission going on.

SEC now says it was an X-28 flare:
Yesterday's X17-plus flare began at 04/1929Z and
saturated the GOES X-ray sensor from 04/1944Z to 04/1956Z. Analysis
of available data from this event yield an estimated peak flux of
X28 at about 04/1950Z.

The Sun farted in our general direction
The most well-understood explanation I've heard yet. Thanks for the laugh... and the profound truth.
