I wouldn't be this way towards him if he could simply apologize for a previous unprovoked ad-hominem attack and admit that he was wrong in his claims. But since he can't seem to muster up enough integrity to be a stand up guy and simply admit that he doesn't know everything......

Sorry "Anthony" but good technology is a matter of defensive design, not a matter of luck. There were no news reports describing dramatic effects of the solar flare simply because there were no dramatic effects to our infrastructure resulting from the solar flare, nor were any anticipated.
The biggest news in this connection is that many ham operators were able to exploit the resulting ionization in the upper atmosphere, and I'm told that the aurora was quite spectacular in regions where it could be seen.

I stand corrected then. I may have been misled by the fact that most major communication equipment firms no longer seem to be producing HF communication suites for aviation applications. Do FAA sites still support HF communications?
Marine electronics is, of course, quite a different situation, and there HF SSB remains in widespread use.
