Question B-007-005-007

When sunspot numbers are high, how is propagation affected?

Correct Answer

Frequencies up to 40 MHz or even higher become usable for long-distance communication

Explanation

High solar activity leads to denser ionization, especially in the F2 layer. This raises the Maximum Usable Frequency (MUF), allowing higher HF bands (like 10m, sometimes 6m) to support long-distance skywave.
