I have just read my e-mails and am still inwardlly digesting your info.,
but I got a bit lost just here :
>"Regular" E layer propagation DOES NOT DEPEND ON THE SOLAR CYCLE (unlike
>the higher F-layer, which is highly dependant). This can easily be illustrated
>by plotting the maximum daily F layer critical frequency throughout the year
>over a solar cycle; they all look the same.
Was that a typo ? Did you 'mean maximum daily E' or am I being dense ?
Malcolm.
Ah, you spotted my deliberate mistake!!! Yes, of course I meant the maximum
E-layer critical frequency. (Just one typo in many by the look of it! I have
corrected four more here!). This was very well illustrated by an article by
Kurt Feldmesser in what was then Wireless World, about ten years ago. If you
would like the reference (and can get access to back numbers) please E-mail me.
