I agree with Tom -- it's noise from far away, propagated just like 
any other RF signal. When 6M is open, for example, I hear birdies 
that I don't hear when it isn't. And during a major blackout not 
long ago, it was noted that the bands got real quiet at skip 
distance from the blackout, even though they were open.
