Default Effect of solar storm on VHF

Just wondered if the VHF frequencies get affected same as HF during the
solar flareups?

Quite the opposite, actually. Stations are reporting contacts well beyond the
normal ranges on all VHF/UHF bands with 6m and 2m being the most popular.

It wide open on 800 Mhz here in Oklahoma. Actually it is causing me grief today
due to Motorola trunking channel hitting our frequencys here.

The grapevine I tune in to pretty much says that the only real problems were
with aircraft transmissions... our VHF systems here in SE texas worked fine, as
a matter of fact, we actually had less "skip" than usual!

My 2cents worth
