Wall Street want to air bands because RF is faster than the internet. If traders can get more trades in in the same amount of time as internet it’s just that more $ especially with after hours trading.

Shortwave was the internet before the internet. Actually compelled me to learn foreign languages.

in the 70s, I had a CB radio with a small power pack 110v AC/ 12v DC, and a 30ft antenna, and in the middle of night, I talked to many other states and countries....😳

RCA hated this, this really exposes the fact that Tesla truly invented radio and the rest copied him.

Solar activity varies cyclically, alternating between periods of increased and decreased activity. These changes are driven by the evolution of our star's magnetic field and are associated with the formation of sunspots, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections. The cycle lasts 11 years.
