I've only seen RFI mentioned in passing a few times in Radio World a broadcast
magazine. Doesn't seem to be an issue for broadcasters typically operating
from 5,000 watts to 50,000 watts.
If you think about it, it's not going to be much of an issue to local AM
broadcasters who are using very strong local transmissions on ground wave to
the receivers. They may only lose fringe or rural area listeners, and only if
those listeners get solar systems. Compare that to amateur radio operators
running only 100 watts (typical) or less or rarely up to 1,500watts (max)
transmitting through the ionosphere once or multiple times with 40-70db or more
of loss and requiring highly sensitive receivers to pick up the weak signals.
Most AM broadcasters won't be affected much at all with minimal loss of
listeners. But Amateur Radio will be.

not having a BAD solar System, but a good one , I wonder what happens to
receiving AM broadcasting ?????
The AM broadcaster is a guy with a commercial license, a big investment AND THE
PROFIT MOTIVE destroyed by interference.
Where o' where did the FCC go????
