[amsat-bb] Re: AO-07 Distorted audio

[Rick Walter]

What about this cause?

Space Weather News for April 25, 2014
http://spaceweather.com

X-FLARE: On April 25th, an active region near the sun's western limb
erupted, producing an impulsive X-class solar flare.  A pulse of extreme UV
radiation from the flare ionized Earth's upper atmosphere and caused a
shortwave radio blackout on the dayside of Earth.   However, a CME hurled
into space by the explosion will miss our planet.  Check
