= Antenna =
An antenna is some type of conductor, used to propogate radio signals. This is
done because an electric current in metal induces an electromagnetic field.
This can be transmitted and recieved by an antenna. When the antenna recieves
the signal, an electric current is induced in the antenna due to the
intersection of the electromagnetic radiation in a conductor.
*Polarization* is what orientation the electric field is from an antenna. This
is the same orientation as the conductor of the antenna. To get the best
signal, the sending and recieving signals must be of the same polarization.
Due to how signals propagate through the atmostphere, their polarization
changes dramaticly, and therefore it often doesnt matter what oerientation an
antenna has when working with signals that propogate often (such as HF, see
[[frequency_range]]). This phenomenon is called eliptical polarization.

* 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
* F1 and F2 combine at night, due to not being as charged
Different parts of the ionosphere are charged at different times of the day,
making it so comms one way but not another are possible, and making it so that
ability to talk is limited by seasons, weather, and the sun cycle.
