Energetic Events Begin Max End Rgn Loc Xray Op 245MHz 10cm Sweep None B. Proton Events: None. C. Geomagnetic Activity Summary: The geomagnetic field was at quiet to active levels with a period of minor storming between 17/0300Z and 17/0600Z. The active to minor storm levels were due to the continued influence of a geoeffective coronal hole high speed stream. D. Stratwarm: None. E.
