Posted: Fri May 10, 2024 11:22 am
The NOAA raised an alert for a strong (Class4) geomagnetic storm which
will hit Earth between this evening and tomorrow, the storm is
currently classified as G4 but given that the multiple flares may sum
up, it may reach the G5 level

it will affect GPS systems, electrical grid and then by the way, the
propagation; my recommendation is to unplug your radios and disconnect
the antennas, at least before 22:00 UTC today, to be more clear, check
