David,
We've found that fiber IS susceptible to a type of interference - something
called "backhoe fade" :-)

Funny, my EMF immune fiber connected internet data reception didn't suffer a
bit. They have this thing called IDD as a way to get your data now. Pretty
nifty, you should try it sometime. :-)
Did I mention that we tossed our circa 1992 Ku band dish from Alden (remember
them anyone?) off the roof last week? (We wanted to use its mounting bracket
for an experimental little wind turbine)

By now, many of you have seen that Aurora Borealis (aka, the "Northern
Lights" were seen throughout much of the U.S. in an incredibly short time
frame this evening...peaking for only 15 minutes or so, but seen for a few
hours faintly before and after the "main event".
As it turns out, this did affect NOAAPort reception. For me, not
significantly, as the carrier:noise ratio remained well above 9,
which is when I start losing data. But still, you could easily see when
this event was peaking. Time-sensitive link that resets at 0Z Wednesday:

Looks like they also raised the power a tad shortly thereafter!
