Northern Lights Do Not Affect Radio Signals Study Finds
MacMillan aide says northern lights only shift light cone and do not disrupt radio reception. The Arctic exploration team, led by Paul Migee and Donad Macmillan, tested amateur stations aboard a ship near Me and Bowdoin as they traversed southern waters. They observed the aurora’s altitude altering the light cone but not blocking transmissions, noting a prolonged test with experimental wire and rope setups to extend transmission reach. The crew achieved a 1400% gain in signal spread, though other factors still influenced reception during the voyage.
