|

Radio Propagation is how signals from the antenna move through space.
|

|

Some notes
|
||||
|
||||
* VHF/UHF can be absorbed by leaves, so they travel farther during winter
|
||||
* Fog and rain absorb UHF
|
||||
|
||||
* VHF/UHF can interfere with each other, leading to dead spots and blending.
|
||||
When moving this can happen quickly (as dead spots are ~1/2 a wavelength
|
||||
apart) and cause a fluttering
|
||||
|
||||
== Ionoshpere ==
|
||||
|
||||
The ionosphere is a region 30-260 miles above the earth that contains charged
|
||||
O2 and N2 (from being bombed with UV, they are conductive).
|
||||
|
||||
=== Layers ===
|
||||
|
||||
The Ionosphere has layers that can reflect different wavelengths. Usually more
|
||||
reflection is done at night, as the sun charges the particles and allows them
|
||||
to bounce the signals. Sun spots also increase this activitity.
|
||||
|
||||
Below are the list of layers
|
||||
|
||||
| Layer | Altitude | Notes |
|
||||
----------------------------
|
||||
| D | 30-60 mi | Often absorbs most signals |
|
||||
| E | 60-70 mi | Reflects VHF/UHF, up to 1200 mi |
|
||||
| F1 | 70-140 mi | Only exists during the day |
|
||||
| F2 | 140+ mi | Combines with F1 at night |
|
||||
|
||||
Note
|
||||
|
||||
* E skip of E,,s,, happens most duirng early summer and mid winter
|
||||
- 10, 6, and 2 meters only
|
||||
- This is what makes HF so good at long distance comms
