Maybe you're not aware of this, but communication signals decay at the same rate as RF noise, so the overall effect is a push.

- zaroth 10y agoI think that's a tautology. I'm not sure what "overall effect is a push" means... Is "incidental noise" the dominant factor in the overall noise floor? Maybe you could call this another kind of "global warming". Any existing historical data readily available?
- tlrobinson 10y agoIs historical data necessary when you can just compare urban to suburban to rural areas? There's clearly a correlation to population (and thus noisy electronics) density. I've tried listening to the HF ham radio bands from my downtown SF apartment with very little success.
- Johnny555 10y agoThat's an awfully wide range of frequencies, from a couple Mhz to hundreds of GHz. I've been able to hit local repeaters on 2m and 70cm bands from my apartment in SF. I don't do much on HF though.
- tlrobinson 10y agoHF is ~3 to 30 MHz. I can hit VHF/UHF repeaters too, but thats an apples to oranges comparison.
