I thought maybe that this sunspot caused the LA blackout but apparently that was caused by a worker snipping the wrong wire...

May I recommend Occam’s Razor to you?

Yes well, Occam and I don't see things eye to eye sometimes... :wink:

A couple years back there was some abnormal sunspot activity that disrupted satellite and network communications.

I was supporting some 2.4 Ghz wireless devices at the time and I had people believing that these sunspots were causing all of their problems...

Well it could be true...
