Low frequency bands up to 18-20Mhz can exhibit some performance issues due to the ionosphere becoming charged more than normal in high activity storms, but above that nothing really.. FPV Freqencies, even the lower long range freqs, are unaffected. Additionally their usage does not even require...

Well what people call magnetic storms or disturbances are caused more by single coronal ejections which essentially send a higher power “pulse” of particles which can upset the Earths magnetosphere which in turn can create a kind of magnetic storm. This doesn’t really have much of an effect on...

GPS Satellites are less prone to interference from Solar Storms as they orbit at a relatively low altitude. Geostationary satellites are much more at risk as they fly so high, they build up static charge as the solar disturbance (which takes the practical form of an actual wind) blows past the...

Solar Storms will not affect our GPS units - period. 25 yrs in the Satellte industry talking now :)
