Thats amazing @Glisten. Did not know the origins of gold.  I think you've done a lot of inquiry! 🙂 Just checked the ABC and did not see anything come up regarding telecommunications going down. I read news on the internet, don't watch TV. There was no mention online.

@SmilingGecko  I should have typed radio communications

I think humans are from another planet @Glisten @SmilingGecko 

[Glisten]

@TAB  because we’re made of stardust?

[TAB]

not that I did it , but when was in Army , they had tables of frequencies to use for radio, that were based on weather I guess.so for certain day/week there are suggested frequencies I think.

@TAB  You’re right up there with Brian Cox, Carl Sagan and Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Thank you @Glisten for the link to the article ❤️ It did not come up on my search I did before. But yes they were saying it was a massive CME and they had not recorded anything of that magnitude since 2017

no, I just remember people talking about things at work 40 years ago @Glisten  lol

I know radio hams rely on spaceweather @TAB and they usually get sent spaceweather alerts to their phones or e-mail. That is really interesting regarding skywave with the radio signal bouncing off the ionosphere and using specific frequencies based on those days requiring transmissions modifications.
