The Arctic Circle is in the grip of a radio blackout due to a polar cap absorption event occurring, all thanks to the sun’s activity.
This has led to radio frequencies below 15 MHz being nearly completely blacked out and most frequencies below 35 MHz being at least a little bit degraded, according to NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center.
This polar cap absorption (PCA) event is occurring as a result of a coronal mass ejection that occurred on May 7 that is now colliding with our planet.
