The sun plays an important part in assisting, of defeating, our attempts to communicate over long distances, on different frequencies. The 11-year solar cycle (or is it really a 22 year cycle?) dictates whether the 50 Mhz band, for example, will provide global DX, or just white noise coming from our receivers.

A website that provides useful information about the state of the sun, sunspots and flares, and other space phenomena is spaceweather.com. There are usually some spectacular photographs in there too.
