"Ionosphere, Shortwave Radio, and Propagation" by Phil Erickson W1PJE at:
www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWwWW7rc6eKh8xfLl4Pac7W9l54h7oj-B&disable_polymer=true 


The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Radio Society (W1MX)
and the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS)
are hosting a series of public lectures on the technology applications and
history of radio. Speakers will hail from throughout the MIT community
and industry to discuss topics ranging from the design of modern wireless
communications systems and 5G, to software defined radio and satellite
communications, to shortwave radio propagation, space weather, Radio
Astronomy and more.
The remaining presentations in the MIT radio technology lecture 
series are: Add to Calendar     Jan 15  Tue     05:30PM-07:00PM
Experimental Radio Astronomy

Principles of Radar
Dr. Frank D. Lind is a Research Engineer at MIT Haystack Observatory 
where he works to develop and use radio science instrumentation. At 
the Observatory he leads many technical efforts involving software radio

instrumentation cutting across Geospace, Astronomy, and Space science.

Space Weather
Dr. Anthea J. Coster is an Assistant Director and principal research 
scientist at the MIT Haystack Observatory. Her research interests 
include space weather, ionospheric and atmospheric coupling, and GPS 
positioning and measurement accuracy. She received her Ph.D. in 
Space Physics and Astronomy from Rice University in 1983, under the 
guidance of William E. Gordon, the founder of the Arecibo 
Observatory in Puerto Rico.


											

The reek of decay is slowly being supplanted with the hope of new life...
Actual signals on NHP fish barrel.
No time to power on actual radio however.

LWBC also doing much better tonight than recently here in S. AZ despite
the high static crashes. 0305 utc check:

171 Morocco weak, use of R75's AM sync giving good reception.
198 BBC very poor/poor
252 Algeria medium; can even use R75 AM sync with only mild NDB channel 
het--it takes a strong signal for that to happen on these NDB freqs.

198 BBC4 UK barely audible EE talk at 0216.
252 Chaine 3 ALG fair-to-good FF talk at 0218.
R75 with ALA1530LNP.

No worries - itâll likely get worse when the Kiwi WEBSDR arrives at my door in 10 days.
