Solar flares dont just effect Amateur Radio! I am 100's of miles offshore Africa just now on an Intervention vessel. The vessel uses DGPS to keep the vessel stationary when working over an Oil well in 1000M of water. We had a solar flare which knocked out the whole DGPS!! Luckily the crew managed to keep everything under control and keep the vessel where it needed to be.
