Arrrrgh!!!!! Almost the instant I hit "Send" on the previous message,
ANOTHER massive solar X-Ray flare erupted and almost complete shut down the 30
meter band, killing RX of the two PSK63 stations.
See the solar X-ray activity graph here:

If a station isn't heard for 63 mins, it is automatically deleted from the the
main 30M All-North-America map at
. <http://wa8lmf.dyndns.org:14439>
However, I have the not-heard timeout & delete on the special events server map at
. <http://wa8lmf.dyndns.org:14437>
set to over 10 hours, so that you have a better chance to see past history,
especially track lines for mobiles.
