Mike,
In one part of the NOVA program, dialog was "the airglow confirms that
sprites interact with the ionosphere"
There were other references as to sprites into ionosphere
Most of our DX propagation is via the ionosphere. A sprite propagation
change maybe possible, but is not proven.
Progress is learning beyond what we already know. (open mind theory)
Here in Maine, 160 meter condition had been very good, then all propagation
was lost within minutes. It sounded like noon-time again.
I could, how ever, still hear one ground wave fish net locator.( : > ) )
After a short commercial, it is very interesting. They are doing such
research.

I saw that show on PBS last night. I don't recall anything in it about
sprites affecting radio propagation, but it was one of the most
fascinating
NOVA episodes that I have ever seen. I just sat there riveted to the TV
with my eyes bugging out and my mouth open.
