Hello group,
I'd like to learn a bit more about the Luxemburg effect on LF. There have
been a few mails to the reflector mentioning this effect some months ago, and
some stations told me I got lost in the LX-effect QRM (IK5ZPV, sri you got my
call wrong a few weeks ago...it was DF0WD not DL0WD who was desperately
calling you in CW ;-)
In short terms, the Luxemburg effect has something to with 'heated electrons'
in the ionosphere wich kind of 'transfer' the AM modulation of a strong BC
station to other signals. But the way it actually occurs, if it only happens
to signals arriving via 'skywave propagation' etc is unknown to me.
The only article I found with a tiny bit of information is at
http://radon.ece.uiuc.edu/gel_history.html.
The search engine showed some hits at www.amrad.org but the amrad server did
not respond.
Any infos welcome (please to the reflector, it may be interesting for other
readers too). Thanks in advance,
73's, Wolf.
