At 0104 UTC, 28 January 2011, an X-ray flare with a flux magnitude of M1.4
erupted, unleasing a coronal mass ejection. The associated coronal mass
ejection was not directed toward Earth, so it will not affect radio
propagation at all. The only affect was the immediate (within eight
minutes) where there was a short-lived Sudden Ionospheric Disturbance on
lower frequencies, and, there was also a Type II radio burst (a rushing
wind sound on HF).
The source of the eruption was the active sunspot region 11149 (and
possibly involved the region 11147, which is north of 11149). These have
now rotated out of view from Earth. That's why the CME is not heading our
way. it erupted out into space away from us.
Here are a few movies I've posted:
