OT but not really that much

[Edward A. Dauer]

I wonder if those who understand the full physics of ionospheric phenomena and their relationship to radio frequency propagation – which I do not – have considered the coincidence of apparently unusual 6 meter openings with a phenomenon called STEVE – Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement.  It is apparently a new and not well understood phenomenon.  I have not been able to find enough information to correlate STEVE’s appearances with the unusual openings.  That some of sporadic E is auroral is at least suggestive.  In any case, STEVE has become an ionospheric celebrity on the Internet of late . . .   Interesting.

I have pointed my six element into aurora and bounced to other hams doing
the same thing. And bounced off of meteor scatter. I do not all the physics,
but I think ionized  gas is our friend.

Hi Ted,

Our magnetic field is reversing and collapsing,  cosmic rays are up,  and
solar radiation is not being buffeted off as much. It might be a wild ride
for ham radio.
