A powerful solar flare recently caused a temporary radio blackout in the western #US and the #Pacific Ocean.
The flare, unleashed by an active sunspot region known as AR 3354, was classified as an X1.0, making it one of the strongest flares observed from the Sun. It affected Earth's upper atmosphere, interfering with high-frequency radio signals in the area facing the Sun at that time.

A nice logo for those who would like politics to stay out of amateur radio, as it was for many generations before. Welcome to place on QRZ pages etc.

Attention all CW OPS: Please add up your total QSO in the past month which took place in the TOP 9 kHz of CW sub-bands and submit them.

Also of related interest: “Israel” is one of the few countries which still use Morse Code outside of amateur radio, in this case apparently for navy and intelligence with the Morse Code being used by Callsign 4XZ on many frequencies on the shortwaves including 4331 and 6607 kHz. At times also illegally within the 40m exclusive amateur radio band. From time to time encrypted messages are sent.
Others using Morse Code outside Amateur radio include China, Russia, India, Pakistan, Indonesia and France. Some countries in South East Asia may also still be using Morse Code for military related purposes.
The last foreign ministries to use Morse Code in the 1990s to communicate with embassies were Sudan (using Arabic Morse) and Turkey.

Attention Amateur Radio CW Operators!
Do you know about the TOP9 activity? Simply, it is to encourage (longer) QSO activity on the top 9 kHz of CW bands.
For example, already surreptiously after many years of trying to further reduce the CW portion of 12m, with the quiet introduction of band plans e.g. by JARL Japan Amateur Radio League without consultation of CW operators has reduced 12m exclusive CW band to a mere 15kHz!
Please use the "TOP 9" as much as you can. Log all QSO and durations there and each month you can submit your results via the "International CW Council" website. Information about TOP9 is here.

Most Powerful Solar Flare Since 2017 Recorded On Sun
A powerful X2.8-grade flare has erupted on the Sun, emitting significant radiation energy. The intensity of the flare could lead to high-frequency radio blackouts on Earth, according to the Space Weather Prediction Center.
