Quick Q about radio signals in current climate

[Highlander]

I think I am right in saying that you tend to get more interference with AM than you do with FM.

I dont think you would need to worry too much about the weather,..all thats been said is correct, but you would not be trying to get hold of anyone in China, I think our needs would be closer to home,..so I dont think the weather wouldnt effect our communications to any great degree,..it woulde depend on lots of things,... including the antenna being used at the time

Most communications might well be from mobile sets, or hand held radios,.. these often rely on `repeaters`, electrical gadgits placed on radio masts, that help bounce the signals from sets on to a more distant receiver, if the emergency is say a solar flare, then these repeaters would be wiped out,..so mobile sets and hand held would be little more than `line of sight`,.. maybe as little as a mile [or less] unless you were on high ground

I should say that my first paragraph regarding the weather was realy refering to amature radio base stations, sets with a good antenna.
