Could have been. I heard it was going to disrupt communications if it
were to cause problems. Asked a friend who manages a ISP in FL and
says they had some problems. He wasn't sure if it was because of the
flare but added it helped their customer support people with at least
having an answer of some sort for the angry callers.

Yesterday my ICOM vhf (which has DSC capability) would suddenly change to
channel 16 and emit a very loud ambulance siren type sound from the
speaker.
The volume of the sound was not controllable and be canceled by changeing
channels or pushing the DSC button.This happened quite a few times. Today
I
tested the unit by leaving it on for a good while , checks OK. So could
this
be caused by solar flares?
