Default RE: Solar Storm Today

ORIGINAL: AndyAndrews

Total non event. I think these solar flare warnings are a bunch of bunk.
Nope its real...last month heading south to the islands nobody was able to make contact with land on the HF frequencies during the last storm. I tried for more than 30 minutes to make a position report before getting through. Airplanes could hear other airplanes but no air to ground communication.
Same warning was issued to us yesterday effective for 52 hours
Areas of red are no HF transmissions possible.

These were lower frequencies than what RC uses. I doubt it would affect 2.4Ghz but you never know.
