Apparently sun spots hold up the sky here on Earth. The ionosphere is
too low.

No doubt - I am getting great polar-path reception, even multipath
from both directions, but those non-polar cross-equatorial photons
just aren't cutting the mustard. The indices are nice and low (K + A
= zero-ish), but the sunpots aren't up there yet I guess.
