A 10cm radio burst indicates that the electromagnetic burst associated with a solar flare at the 10cm wavelength was double or greater than the initial 10cm radio background.<\/p>\n<p>This can be indicative of significant radio noise in association with a solar flare. This noise is generally short-lived but can cause interference for sensitive receivers including radar, GPS, and satellite communications.<\/p>\n<p>There were no radio signatures that would suggest a coronal mass ejection (CME) was produced. Updated chronograph imagery shows a northward CME which doesn\u2019t appear to be related to this flare.<\/p>\n<p>Radio frequencies were forecast to be most degraded over Africa at the time of the
