You missed the point! You cannot test like that when the variables change
minute by minute. There is no computer in the world that could take into
account propagation for such a test. When would you test? Night? Day?
Summer? Winter? Fall? Spring? High sunspot count? Low sunspot count?
When the A index is below 2? Your asking for the sun, the moon, and the stars.
You might want to read a book on scientific experimentation and research.
Heck, I have a liberal arts degree and know about this stuff. Being a
social scientist, I would like to have variables that are stable as these
guys have. When your working with people, you have so many variables that
it makes you envious of the hard sciences.
Again, give these guys a break. Look at the parameters of the test. Then
duplicate it to confirm it or to throw in in the rubbish bin. After you do
that then you can draw additional hypothesis and prove it! See the exact
information.
