Other times I couldn't talk to the base camp with 500 watts.A mile and 500w, that's pretty extreme! The proton storm must've been off the charts.
proton storm??? Off to google I go

As the proton levels get really high it wipes out hf radio propagation.(11-01-2024, 04:31 PM)tommag Wrote:(10-31-2024, 11:07 PM)olfart Wrote: I used to have problems in Greenland with HF propagation.
