I'm surprised that there has been no warning or discussion on NANOG...

There is a high likelihood that things like 802.11, licensed and
unlicensed microwave links, and certainly satellite links will sustain
interference over the next few days. I assume that everyone on the list
is both aware, and prepared :wink:

Oh, perhaps an alternative to paging or cellphone notifications to
support folks is a good idea :wink:

Don't expect warnings like this in the future; Congress is likely to
drop the Space Environment Center's funding to 0.

I have a Solar Data page here:

http://n3kl.org/sun/noaa.html

And Solar status monitor images you can deep link on your own
page:

http://n3kl.org/sun/status.html

The above pages poll data from ftp.sec.noaa.gov, which is still
available.
