[bars] ESA - Giant Blast from the past: Gamma-ray burst strikes Earth, affects low freq radio signals

[Juan Jiménez]

I think it is more like LF, or in the lowest HF band. But that was a very
rare event. Gamma ray bursts usually only disturb the upper half of the
ionosphere. This one reached out and touched the lowest level. Somebody's
day got really screwed up 2 billion yrs ago or so. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
