Re: RAZoom Fri. April 5th 19:30 BST Solar Eclipse Effects on VLF Radio Propagation
Hi ?ilvis, That is an interesting group of measurements. ?I understand there will reduction in electrons during an eclipse. ?So, are the electron currents at satellite altitudes affecting the

Re: RAZoom Fri. April 5th 19:30 BST Solar Eclipse Effects on VLF Radio Propagation
Thanks for the interesting lecture! My 2cents: there was a total eclipse in July 2009 and then I thought what is happening with Earth magnetic field during the event. So I made an screenshot from NOAA

Meteor echo of the day
Today's screenshots are from Martin near Salisbury. The left hand screenshot is from Martin's own receiver system while the others are from the live stream. They show a tail echo lasting ten seconds

There is also a difference in the electric field strength between a circular polarisation (CP) and linear incident radiation of a factor of two.? For the same transmitted power a meteoroid trail

Circular Polarisation is used to ensure that if the reflecting target has any polarising properties as a wire or cylinder with a diameter small compared to the illuminating wavelength would, that some

Why is th tx antenna CP? Have you considered a GPV? ?It may help reducing direct wave if horizontal polarised Rex antennas are used.

yes it's difficult thinking about what the polarisation is the meteoroid ?and then how this is seen at the receiver. ?One needs to consider azimuth and elevation angles Are these the azimuthal

Hello Mike The X and Y plots look similar but I would not claim that we are able to make any precise measurements of polarisation, just a strong indication. Another problem is that it is very
