Radio blackouts during solar storms occur because intense solar flares emit large amounts of X-rays and extreme ultraviolet radiation, which ionize the Earth’s upper atmosphere, particularly the ionosphere. This increased ionization disrupts the propagation of high-frequency radio waves, leading to communication outages.

Earth-Moon-Earth (EME) communication, or moonbounce, involves transmitting radio signals from Earth to the Moon, where they are reflected back to Earth, allowing long-distance communication. This method requires high-power transmitters, directional antennas, and sensitive receivers to overcome significant signal attenuation and Doppler shifts.

Earth-Moon-Earth (EME), also known as moonbounce, is a form of radio communication where radio waves are transmitted from Earth, bounce off the surface of the Moon, and are received back on Earth. This technique allows for long-distance communication by utilizing the Moon as a passive reflector – and we tried this on 10 GHz with a big dish.

I set my TinySA to measure and sweep the 2.4 GHz range (microwave frequency) to see just how much RF manages to leak out and I got some surprising results.

My two Icom Radios – the IC-7300 and IC-9700 are almost out of warranty. I’ve only noticed this issue in the last 6 months – and I wonder – do they actually have a problem, let me know what you think.
