@w0odl Okay, society might collapse, but the propagation is going to be AWESOME.

It seems like there have been more blackouts on HF since the sunspots started coming back.

@ham_bitious Sunspots=blackouts-propagation. We don't get propagation without noise.

The key for hams is that the noise drops at night, but the ionosphere takes more hours to deionize itself, and the propagation persists for a few hours.

But you don't get reach without noise.

I thought flares caused the blackouts and sunspots just improved propagation

Less internet; more radio sounds good to me

General and misc. community not particularly pertaining to amateur radio. Maybe ham radio adjacent.

Introduce yourself, talk about other interests, what's your weather like?
