See the items here - a G3 class storm is expected....

And Spaceweather is reporting a class X1.3 flare erupted from the same regions that will hit us with this big CME. Going to be a bit rough in HF propagation for a bit...Mike

I'm down around 36~37°, so I won't see any aurora results...not that I am complaining if you know what I mean.

Well, if you do see any aurora at latitudes that low, HF/VHF/UHF propagation problems are going to be interesting.

Auroral conditions on MW might be interesting for those of us in the Northern Tier of states, and Canada.

I can tell you any solar storm/.aurora activity KILLS HF and AM in Alaska.

How bad does it get?

I cant hear 50kw AM's 300 miles away AT ALL.. and there are several of them

For those of us in Emergency Management - should I be concerned in the Southern US? Any impacts to VHF, UHF, 7/800 MHz, and cell?

Heck if i know..... honestly. it'll make things interesting, but not ruin them.

A friend in SC had a hatian creole am running low power from orlando fort a few minutes.. then it disappeared

I don’t really use HF in my day to day life, but I know it can cause problems with satellites. I guess if the lights go out I’ll at least know why. Gonna be back to cups and strings hahaha. If the compass on my desk starts going crazy I’ll know to be more concerned.

Funny though because as a scientist I know very little about CMEs. Just a pharma / medical nerd, but I do enjoy some stars.

While the hams are crying and dying about no DX when this thing hits, at least you can medicate yourself.

Well I make sildenafil and tadalafil soooooo. I’m not so certain my lab partners would be worried about the CME but rather the local ME.

FWIW, I noticed reduced reception in the 31 meter band, but it was no worse than regular HF was in 2017-2021 or so. MW was down a bit -- just the usual regionals.

Eeeewwwww... I see what you did there.
