De-doomed: Keep Calm: The Truth About The Huge Solar Flare That Just Missed Earth - Forbes
"What seems to be going on here is that NASA put out a press release on Wednesday rehashing the details of the 2012 flare and the research that’s been dripping out over the past year. It’s actually a great primer on space weather and the potential damage that can be done by huge coronal mass ejections, including the last time the planet was actually in the firing line. That happened over 150 years ago. By the way, that event — known as the Carrington event — did not vaporize any people, animals or planets, but it did do damage to telegraph lines and create some epic northern lights as far south as Tahiti."

And I've got a shedload (literally) of valves to do it with.
Maybe I'd better get started, so I'm ahead of the game & don't need to use a poke heated on an open fire as a soldering iron.
I'm assuming that would be easier than a valve MP3 player?

All the skills of the Information Age become instantly useless once a massive solar flare wipes out the electronics.

Proper Dooooom! The Sky is Falling!
NASA sounds red alert over solar flare that nearly wiped out human civilization two summers ago - NaturalNews.com
All gone in an instant!
Nothing with a chip in it will work!
Riots in the streets!
I'm not altogether sure why everything electronic gets zapped.
Stuff connected to networks such as the mains and telephone, yes, but everything?
Must be one hell of an EMP for that.
Thank heavens for my Murphy B40 and Racal RA17 receivers.
They're stuffed full of valves.
Sadly, no 'lectrick to make them work though.
Ho hum.
Maybe I'd better do some work on that battery powered portable wireless I bought off ebay.
Then again, maybe a CME isn't such a bad thing:
