About 7:00 PM I, and others, found our cell phones to be useless. We all had plenty of signal and could dial, but couldn't hear diddly. I was about to blame the companies til I realized that it was probably related to the recent solar activity. Wow. I didn't know it could louse up line of sight signals like that.

Don't think so.
160 meters was full of QRN, or "Old Man Static" as they say in the good old days.
Did not bother to check into the GHN, even local Maine stations nearly uncopiable.
75 was solid, had a nice low power QSO with K1MVP on just 25 watts at 8PM.
As Glenn mentioned pretty hard to disrupt high band stuff unless you have some real radiation.
Most likely a carrier problem with the fone Co.
