Sporadic ionization in the E layer, known as sporadic E, may occur at any time and is not necessarily solar related. This effect can isolate the F layer, altering the path characteristics such that communication is disrupted or perhaps enhanced. Even VHF frequencies may be affected by sporadic E conditions causing a significant increase in effective range.
