Here we go again:
Once again we hear the newspapers screaming out more or less doomsday propheties about the increasing sun spot activity. Not a positive word on how increased solar activity increases short wave propagation and make worldwide radio communication easier in the time to come. Just the usual screaming of satelites and power grid failures that MAY happen if we have a MAJOR flare coming in earth's direction. This have happened before, we know this. Old news.

Say, amigo, didn't Norway create a seed bank containing all the plants in the world? That's a kind of doomsday scenario, don't you think? 73, John
P.S. There is also danger to the space junk from too little sunspots, since the protective solar wind weakens.

Oh, yeah. The ionosphere is something like 100 miles closer to the earth. This makes the atmosphere more dense and increases the drag on LEO satellites. Which means they won't last as long. 73, John
