Solar storms significantly impact ham radio communications. Solar flares and CMEs cause increased radio noise, signal interference, and rapid fading, disrupting skywave communication. Radio hams should monitor space weather and geomagnetic activity to maintain reliable contacts. Real-time solar flare:
