How can a geomagnetic storm affect HF propagation?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: D. Degrade high-latitude HF propagation
A geomagnetic storm disturbs the ionosphere most near the poles, where charged particles enter along Earth's magnetic field lines. That degrades HF signals that travel over high-latitude paths.
Tip: Storms hurt polar HF paths.
