Astronomers agree, however, that at times of sunspot intensity more ultraviolet radiation comes from the sun to earth, the air averages about one degree cooler, slightly more rain falls and there are disturbances of the terrestrial magnetic field. At such times ordinary radio reception is more troubled by static. But a U. S. Bureau of Standards scientist has found evidence that ultra-short-wave reception is better in the daytime when sunspots are rampant (TIME...
