Back during the mid to late sixties, I heard perhaps 3 or 4 of those =
solar flare noise showers on 15 meters that completely took out the band =
for about 2 minutes.  I have witnessed other flares that made all the =
bands go totally dead, signals fading into nothingness, and 15 to 20 =
minutes later, everything peaking back up again.  One of this was during =
Field Day back in the lat sixties and I was on 20 meter side band when =
it happened.
