The moon is interfering with radio signals? Doesn't this only happen if the moon is literally blocking line of sight? It seems like being outside of earth's atmosphere and ionosphere would be the biggest benefit for radio.
- JshWright 6y agoThere's still a lot of rf noise that can penetrate that far. ~3,400km of solid rock is a much better attenuator.
