You don't need to be on satellite to suffer from rain fade....<br>
my home Adsl drops ~3mbit (50% of the epic 6 I usually achieve) when
it rains.<br>
<br>
That's my biggest fear for the NBN, currently a slightly dodgy
connection somewhere that gets a bit wet is irritating but not the
end of the world, methinks a smidge of water against a fiber is
going to be game over.<br>

And to think I held off posting anything when the alert came
through, thinking astronomical discussions would be uninteresting!<br>

If your satellite dishes haven't blown away or floated away in the
floods, or been affected by rain-fade within the atmosphere, then
the solar wind may well fix your quiet evening.<br>

SOLAR ACTIVITY: Big sunspot AR1429 has unleashed another major flare--an X5-class eruption on March 7th at 00:28 UT. As a result of the blast, a radiation storm is underway and a CME will likely hit Earth's magnetic field in a day or so. Geomagnetic storms are already in progress at high latitudes due to earlier eruptions from the active sunspot. Last night, auroras were spotted over several northern-tier US states including Michigan and Wisconsin. Check <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://spaceweather.com">http://spaceweather.com</a> for updates and images.
