Update: Rather than spend time listening to the above specimen I recommend you go to
a new page with more interesting and stronger specimens from May 19 and others there.

May 15, 2007 A moderate Type III solar radio burst episode as captured in sound below at 21.1 MHz in New Mexico.
Click on Audio just below to listen 3 minutes 46 seconds 3.5 MB
Solar bursting kicks in at about 17 seconds into sound file. Second burst peak midway through is stronger than the first peak.
Observer's Notes: Here in New Mexico today there is sustained high wind which is causing some electrical shorting somewhere
out on the power grid and it is infecting my radio recordings. The buzz can be sort of a nuisance but as you can hear on the audio file
when the solar burst happens it totally drowns out all interference and fills the radio with pure solar plasma oscillations. Yay.
For an audio collection of solar radio bursts that are much more powerful than the one above please check out:
