I don't seem to be seeing any of these recommendations anywhere else.

I see that they have shut down some science related instruments on
satellites to be safe, and that there is a concern that it will affect
high-frequency radio communications. Some concern that it will affect
satellite communications including GPS ... that's all I'm seeing on various
legit websites.

But I don't see any recommendations to protect earth-based hardware
including the Nasa link you provide below.

If you have a link that would help I would appreciate it.

NASA REPORT:

http://www.nasa.gov/vision/universe/...0.28Flare.html

The largest solar flare ever detected will hit earth approximately noon
EDT Wednesday.

Disruptions in power supplies and communications are possible.

Take appropriate precautions.

1. By 1100 edt. Turn of and disconnect (from antenna too) computers,
gps, sat radio, radar and other sensitive equipment.

2. Disconnect shore power cables due to possible power spike(s)

3. Stop any onboard generators to prevent EM overload, and pull battery
disconnects.

It should be safe to resume operations by 2:00 pm edt.
Expect heavy VHF & UHF interference.
Expect Radar "fuzz"

Good Luck All
