I mean doesn’t increased sun activity make radio transmission poor?

ACK! NO! The sun spots and spurts excite the ionosphere and make it all shiny and reflective. The MUF (maximum usable frequency) climbs off the scale at a real peak. Otherwise, high frequency radio waves just leave earth to annoy civilizations hundreds of light years away.

Sunspots trap the radio waves to the planet and let you talk with very low power all over the globe.

I can remember sitting in Yokosuka Japan and not being able to converse with another ship in the harbor while openly talking to a ship in Hong Kong....was using the old boat radios early 60’s, Of course, Morse is different, would ignore close comm centers and go for DX... the ‘monitors’ did not like that, but then again, if they are not sitting in the shack with you, who are they to tell what you can or can’t hear.....hmmmmmm

Please try not to piss anything out there off.

Thanks in advance.
