Lost connection for a short time....
Did anyone else lose their connection for about ten or twelve minutes around 1:00AM EST on 8/28? No weather here or at my gateway, and my signal strength was great, but I lost connection to the gate...
I wasn't using the service at that time, so I don't know if it happened here, but what Mark said makes sense. Seems the storm was significant.
yeah, but it was high level for about 6 hours. Think the TV was out here for maybe 5 minutes after it was over.
Unless, maybe, there was also a proton event that I didn't see?
It was also on the 26th, so maybe it was the remnants?
If it were the actual flare or coronal emission that occurred on the 26th, maybe. But the effect had already travelled here as evidenced by the elevated A/K indexes. I am certain shortwave (if it still even exists, haven't checked in a while) was practically non-existent on the 26th, and mid-day yesterday, though I've seen some rare long-path DX during those periods.
