The solar flare was categorized as an X1.08-class flare, making it one of the most powerful classes of flare to be ejected from the sun.

    I was working FT8 when the flare arrived, and it was fascinating to watch the bands (both on my HF transceiver and on my SDR) just flat out die in something like 30 seconds. First time that’s happened to me, and it was fun to watch! :-)
