At 1337Z on April 30, 2022 an X1.1 Flare brushed us. It was a large flare but mostly missed but was strong enough to knock out 40 meters. The net was shut down shortly after the flare hit. Rick WN3T is normally 20 over here at K2KA and when the flare hit he went to S0!! Check out this website below:
