Radio problems with ALCO?

[Window_Seat]

So I've been hearing it for the past few days on my end with regard to the ALCO trunking system having radio problems, and today one of the agencies ran into a pretty serious problem where there was a "RIGHT NOW" response needed, and it was hard to get location info across the radio due to the problems.

Could this be due to the solar flares, or other radio issues?
