I am afraid I will not be able to help much today on the forums today.
I use a cell phone type modem and my connection will not stay up for more than a few seconds at a time. Atmospheric disturbance I guess. Even cell phones are in the toilet and satelite TV looses signal randomly.
Clear day no clouds but bright sun. Solar radiation I guess.
This was typed out in a word processor and copied, I will try to just paste it If I can stay connected long enough.

Looks like we got whacked on the 22 and here is the info and the upcoming forecast.
GEOMAGNETIC STORM WARNING: NOAA forecasters estimate a 80% chance of polar geomagnetic storms on June 24th when another CME is expected to hit Earth's magnetic field. The intensity of the storm is hard to predict. It could range from mild to severe. Stay tuned for updates--and get ready by signing up for aurora alerts: text or voice.
THE SOLSTICE STORM: The current solar cycle has not been good to sky watchers. Years of weak solar activity have produced few widespread displays of the aurora boreais. The Solstice Storm of 2015 changed all that. A series of CMEs hit Earth's magnetic field on June 22nd, producing a severe G4-class geomagnetic storm. Northern Lights spilled across the Canadian border into more than 20 US states. Jason Brownlee sends this picture from Bend, Oregon:
B. NOAA Solar Radiation Activity Observation and Forecast
Solar radiation, as observed by NOAA GOES-13 over the past 24 hours, was above S-scale storm level thresholds.
Solar Radiation Storm Forecast for Jun 25-Jun 27 2015
Jun 25 Jun 26 Jun 27
S1 or greater 80% 60% 40%
Rationale
S1 (Minor) solar radiation storms are expected on day one (25 Jun) mainly due to the radiation storm potential from Region 2371. S1 radiation storms are likely on day two (26 Jun), with a chance for S1 storms on day three (27 Jun) as Region 2371 slowly decays.
C. NOAA Radio Blackout Activity and Forecast
No radio blackouts were observed over the past 24 hours.
Radio Blackout Forecast for Jun 25-Jun 27 2015
Jun 25 Jun 26 Jun 27
R1-R2 60% 60% 60%
R3 or greater 10% 10% 10%
Rationale
R1-R2 (Minor-Moderate) radio blackouts are likely, with a slight chance for R3 (Strong) blackouts, on days one through three (25-27 Jun) primarily due to the flare potential from Region 2371.

pfft...over-achiever
my cell phone's been acting up today too. that explains a lot.
When I don't have anything to do it's better then going out
and getting in a Dodge. Err I meant getting into trouble.
But come to think of it they are both the same.
LOL The weirdest thing is when I did have a signal it was a stronger signal than I had ever had before. I didn't even know this thing had 5 bars on the signal meter. LOL

That's just our government experimenting. Or the aliens. Same thing I guess.
