About the United States Air Force Solar Observatories Radio Event Reports

The Space Weather Prediction Center of the USA National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration  relays the radio event data provided to them by the USAF Solar Observatories:

The USAF Solar Observatories are interested principally on strong events that might possibly affect the combat readiness of the United States Air Force. Their reports very frequently do not mention many relatively weak events of much scientific interest.

Solar radio events observed at LWA1 PASI and USAF Weather Agency Observatories

“Construction of the LWA has been supported by the Office of Naval Research under Contract N00014-07-C-0147. Support for operations and continuing development of the LWA1 is provided by the National Science Foundation under grants AST-1139963 and AST-1139974 of the University Radio Observatory program."

Many thanks to Dr. Greg Taylor, Director LWA, NOAA SWPC, and USAF Weather Agency.
