Marconi reported reception at 12:30, 1:10, and 2:20 local time. Adding 3 and 1/2 hours gives 1600 UTC, 1640 UTC, and 1750 UTC. I would kind of be surprised if the beacon receiver guy DOESN'T hear the

I don't think I can add any more than what's already been posted previously on the topband reflector. Go to the topband searchable archives and do a search on "moon". Of the many postings, two intere

Cris, I agree - trying to separate out any effect of the moon from other variables will likely prove to be very difficult. This could also be done with exisiting low frequency BC beacons that are the

Bob, The official definition of sunrise is when the center of the sun is 0.8333 degrees below the horizon. Due to refraction in the atmosphere and the size of the sun, this puts the upper limb of the

There appears to be two issues with sunrise and propagation on the low bands. First, the signal enhancement around sunrise that W7LR mentioned is believed to be due to tilts in the E and F regions at

If the theory is correct that sunrise enhancements are tied to the tilt in the ionosphere at sunrise, then one would expect sunset enhancements to be just as prevalent since there's a tilt then, too

The only hard data I've ever seen that suggests the ionosphere itself may contribute to "one-way propagation" is the extensive work of John Wang at the FCC in the 1970s in validating North American s

I believe many will agree that this is not an uncommon scenario - especially in the winter months with high solar zenith angles (the Sun is low on the horizon). What's important is where the electrom
