Radio Propagation A ridge of high pressure pushing down the North Sea is creating ideal conditions for some strong tropospheric propagation. #radiopropagation #amateurradio #g7izu

Space Weather Ops Dashboard I've released another update today (version #260407.3). The DRAP map includes a flashing indicator to show which base location is active in the path estimator table. Two new (optional) columns have been added to the path estimator: The GREYLINE column shows when the sunrise/sunset terminator is crossing the midpoint of a radio path — grey line conditions can briefly boost long-distance signals as the D-layer fades but the F-layer stays strong. The ↓F number tells you how many solar flux units (SFU) conditions can deteriorate before your best open band closes — the lower the number, the more fragile the opening. The ↑K number shows how much the geomagnetic storm index (Kp) can rise before the path degrades — useful during unsettled space weather when conditions can change quickly. Please go to the launch page or reload the page to ensure you're using the latest version. https://www.tvcomm.co.uk/g7izu/space-weather-ops/ #spaceweather #radiopropagation #amateurradio #g7izu

Radio Propagation And here we see the fly-through with the 10m band added to the mix. #radiopropagation #amateurradio #g7izu

Radio Propagation 3D fly-through showing 10m and 6m propagation between South and North America, recorded just now. The orange clouds (which are drawn a bit too bright!) denote zones of signal refraction for TEP (Trans-Equatorial-Propagation). #radiopropagation #amateurradio #g7izu

Space Weather Aurora reported by amateur radio operators down to ~50°N over Europe. A G1-G2 geomagnetic storm is in progress. #spaceweather #radiopropagation #aurora #g7izu

Radio Propagation The VHF/UHF FT8 Activity Contest kicked off at 18h UT. See the contesters on this flythrough aver Europe. 2m band contacts are the red lines, and as the contacts are mostly tropospheric, the signals are hugging the surface of the planet within a few km. It's fitting that Dave, G7RAU (and author of LiveMUF) is one of the contacts seen in this video (at the bottom end of Cornwall). #radiopropagation #amateurradio #g7izu

Radio Propagation 10m band (28 MHz) radio propagation between Europe and N America is poor this afternoon. From Europe, the band is open to S America, S Africa and the Far East. #radiopropagation #amateurradio #g7izu

Radio Propagation While we wait for the sporadic-E season to get going properly, here's a demonstration fly-through of this afternoon's global 10m to 2m band propagation, recorded live from amateur radio DX Cluster data with a five-minute cadence, at 17h07 UT 28 March. The yellow lines denote 10m contacts. As you can see, there's not much going on above the 10m band at the time of the recording. All the lower bands have been supressed so as to make 10m clearer. The number of hops and reflection locations any particular signal path makes is estimated and not real, but is based upon real factors such as ionosphere height, propagation mode and the MUF. Different frequencies reach different heights, as future videos will show. #radiopropagation #amateurradio #g7izu
