Hi Markus yes that puzzled me for years (having a feel for ion/electron lifetimes it didnt seem to make sense) BUT when you introduce a "magnetic bottle" which is filled on the impact of the CME and
Hi Jay yes thanks, and that it perks up a bit with a low level coronal hole event around Kp=4. I have just found a useful source of reading matter so I have invested this month's beer money :-)) Hope
LF, Last evening there was excellent LF propagation from EU to VK. Edgar J. Twining (SWL) was watching the LF DX window for several weeks now. The season Hi Stefan, Group. TA condx were also excelle
I dont under stand Polar conditions and Ive been "living them" for over 35 years :-)) I was taking a look at the 137KHz Alaska to ZL ZL6QH tests back some ten years ago from my previous QTH near Anch
And I will validate the near instanteous drop in conditions if we hit any sort of disturbance here in Alaska - and the "average" time it takes to recover means I can typically take a break of couple
Hi Markus, it would seem that the majority of the "hot" precipitated electrons enter the ionosphere at the dawn and dusk edges where the magnetosphere is distorted by the solar wind pressure. I belie
leakage. If the geomag conditions are very quiet for extended periods like during the >Solar min. signals seem to decrease, I have a feeling that some of the longer lived ionisayion in the E-region

Alan, thanks very much for the detailed and interesting explanations! One thing I have always found hard to grasp was that charges can be stored up there for as long as several days. But it seems the
Hi Laurence, thanks for the encouragement like there is a lot in the book I just ordered so I may soon be boring you with new theories :-)) I wonder from your exposure to low frequencies at both Pole
''within easy reach of an Opera-32 correlation detection'' ... That could also mean a slightly less powerful , may be 10 dB signal, originating from a similar location , over the same path , may prov
Hi again Markus ....a thought! is there likely to be any connection between the global distribution of good paths and the bearing wrt to the geomagnetic field ?? Mid-East being predominantly southerl
Edgar, Stefan, this is an outstanding result! Great to see what is possible on LF, given a good antenna, a quiet location, and patience paired with persistence. Did you by chance have a look at the b
LF, A short amendment to the recent results by Edgar and me: Edgar even recorded the session of that evening and provided a wav file for me which allowed to reprocess the signal. I tried to get some
