hit 200 because that's great for the HF bands, especially the upper bands, 15 meters, 12 and 10 meters. But the planetary K index is up a little bit too. That's that CME that we talked about a few days ago. It's going by the Earth right now. It doesn't seem to have a lot of impact though, and I think it's going to start dropping. There was a significant solar flare that just ended, an M-class flare, almost an X, and that occurred just a couple hours ago. But it doesn't look like there's any real CME associated with it, but it happened over the Atlantic when the sun's over the Atlantic. So there might have been a short term blackout, but conditions will probably be pretty good there. And I'm seeing a lot of propagation starting to appear on the upper bands over the Atlantic, which wasn't there just an hour ago. And the Pacific looks pretty good right now on everything from 20 meters on up. So it's a good time to give that a shot.
