NOAA warning for rf communications

Fri Oct 24 12:04:10 UTC 2003

Anything in the wireless or open air communications spectrum 
will be affected. Think of it as an electronic shower with the
pressure being turned up and down over the next two weeks. 

It is definitely a problem for all radio spectrum users. 
The only media not affected is cable, to include fiber (this 
is if your cable is properly shielded).

"High frequency communications"?

We *are* talking about multi-GHz frequencies here.
