Podcasts about Propagation

On this weeks podcast the C&SI team head to the diocese of Peoria in Illinois in the US to speak to Msgr. Jason Gray who is the Executive Director of the Archbishop Fulton Sheen Foundation to learn about one of the newest Beati/Blessed from the America's, Archbishop Fulton Sheen. In part one we have our regular liturgical odds and ends including a brief mention of the up coming saints of the week.In part three we have our reflection on the Sunday gospel which this weeks is John's account of Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan Woman at the Well (John 4:5-42). Blessed Archbishop Fulton SheenMsgr Jason Gray introduces our listeners this week to Archbishop Fulton Sheen whose ceremony of beatification is due to take place later this year. While the official decree of beatification by Pope Francis was issued in 2019, the formal ceremony will recognise the next step in the process towards canonisation of the man known in his lifetime as "America's Bishop". Gaining prominence initially through his radio programme the Catholic Hour  (1930 - 1950) and then from 1951 to 1979 his television series, Life is worth living, Archbishop Sheen was regarded as one of the premier 20th century Catholic evangelists who harnessed the power of what was then the new media of radio and tv, eventually reaching an estimated 30 million viewers each week, which would make it the most widely-viewed religious series in the history of television. He won an Emmy Award for Most Outstanding Television Personality, was featured on the cover of Time Magazine, and became one of the most influential Catholics of the 20th century.Msgr Gray takes us through Sheen's life story including his role as National Director of the Society for the  Propagation of the Faith, raising money to support the missions, as Bishop of Rochester, his participation in the Second Vatican Council and the cautious approach taken to ensure there was no issues with formally declaring him Blessed. He reflects on Sheen's example to us of daily prayer as Sheen kept a daily Holy Hour and there are many videos of Sheen available online as a resource to us still in the journey of faith. Resources mentioned in segment about Archbishop Fulton Sheen- Archbishop Fulton Sheen FoundationBook recommendations:- Treasure in Clay (Autobiography)- The Life of Christ- The Priest is not his ownText us at +353 874668950 or email at comeandseeinspirtaions@gmail.com

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday the 26th of February 2026 We have just had a period of zero sunspots – the first time since June 2022. However, don't worry. This may be a sign of things to come, but this zero-spot period was short-lived. There are now signs of sunspots appearing over the Sun's eastern limb with old region 4366, last seen on the 11th of February, making its return. It is now renamed ‘active region 4378'. This is helping to boost the solar flux index, which stood at 125 on Thursday, the 26th of February. This is a long way off the usual solar flux index lows we experience at sunspot minimum, when it can be as low as 66 to 70. As we are now entering March and, with the hours of daylight increasing, we are seeing a change in HF propagation. The Spring equinox is a time for good North-South propagation, especially on the higher HF bands, although we may see the 10m band tailing off a little as we head towards summer. For the best overall DX HF propagation, head to 21MHz or higher, where you may get maximum global coverage. Propagation has been reasonable, but a high-speed solar wind stream from a coronal hole pushed the Kp index to 4 for long periods. This has not helped HF propagation, although its effects are not as bad as a Kp index of 6 or higher. DXpeditions to be worked this week include Bouvet Island, 3Y0K; Guinea Bissau, J51A; and the final days of Desecheo Island, KP5/NP3VI, which is due to end around the 3rd of March. Lubo, OM5ZW and Laco, OM4WM, will also be active from Thulusdhoo Island in the Maldives as 8Q7ZW from the 28th of February until the 12th of March 2026. Next week, the Space Weather Prediction Centre predicts that the solar flux index will remain in the 120 to 130 range. The solar wind model predicts that a cloud of plasma may hit Earth today, the 1st of March, so watch out for an increased Kp index. Otherwise, the first half of the coming week may be quiet, geomagnetically. However, the Kp index is predicted to rise to 4 on the 5th and 6th of March. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The early part of last week saw brief 50MHz FT8 spots of the J51A DXpedition to Guinea-Bissau in the southern part of the UK. As with TZ1CE last week, stations much further south benefited from the best propagation. As of Thursday, the 26th of February, Clublog showed no UK stations in their log yet. Earlier in the week, the station was an easy catch using FT8 on all the lower bands. The current spell of very unsettled weather will last into the early part of the coming week. Thereafter, it seems likely that high pressure will start to build over the country, possibly with another weak front after mid-week. This may soon be followed by another high before the end of the week. In terms of radio propagation, although some further rain scatter is probable at first, as we head into the coming week, there is every chance of tropo becoming a mode of choice. It's important to remember that not all highs are equal and, although they all tend to produce a strong temperature inversion, they may not be good for tropo if the air near the surface is too dry. Ideally, we need to see some misty low cloud or early morning fog trapped under the inversion for the better-quality lifts. This is because a change in moisture across the top of the inversion produces the biggest change to the refractive index. Other modes to consider, though not too seriously, are aurora after the recent coronal hole stream. The indication you are looking for is a high value Kp index, say 5 or greater, up to the maximum of 9. With meteor scatter, we are in a long gap in shower activity until the Lyrids in late April, so relying on random meteor activity is the best we can expect. Lastly, the prospects for Sporadic-E are not necessarily zero but are unlikely to be too exciting in this part of the year. The main summer season is normally considered to run from late April to mid-September. In the interim, the occasional burst of activity is possible, but probably limited to the 10 or 6m bands. For EME, Moon declination has started to fall again, going negative on Wednesday, the 4th of March. This means shortening Moon windows and lower peak elevation. Path losses are rising again after perigee. 144MHz sky noise is low throughout the coming week. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

Anshel Sag hosts episode 242 of the rebranded 6G Podcast and introduces new co-host Mike Dano (Ookla), noting the industry's “5G lull” and a shift toward 6G discussions. They discuss 5G Americas shutting down operations after years as a spectrum- and standards-focused trade association, framing the closure as a sign of cooling 5G interest and flat-to-negative RAN sales. Anshel covers Samsung and KT achieving a 3 Gbps downlink in 7 GHz using Keysight 6G test equipment and X-MIMO, noting the unclear bandwidth used and emphasizing that 6G progress is still largely experimental with mixed commercialization timelines (2028–2030). They debate 7 GHz as a key 6G band, propagation challenges (referencing Wi‑Fi 6E/7), the fading focus on terahertz bands, China's earlier stance on 6 GHz, and potential limited initial 6G deployments. Mike highlights an Ookla report on 5G standalone showing improved battery life versus NSA (EE +22%, O2 +11%) and argues operators under-market SA benefits. Anshel explains T-Mobile's John Saw concept of “kinetic tokens” for low-latency AI in motion (physical AI) across device/edge/cloud, tying it to use cases like real-time translation (5G Advanced, 50 languages) and ISAC for tracking and supporting drones, plus discussion of NVIDIA-based AI-RAN strategies and skepticism about cost and monetization of GPUs in base stations. Mike raises broader concerns about the AI data center boom, citing a projected $710B hyperscaler investment in 2026, power constraints (natural gas, gas turbines/jet engines), private high-bandwidth inter-data-center traffic, and questions about whether telecoms can capture AI value versus hyperscalers, while noting sovereign AI opportunities in countries with fewer data centers. They close with Microsoft and Ericsson integrating Ericsson Advanced Enterprise Mobility into Windows 11 (piloted on Surface 5G) to simplify secure enterprise 5G laptop management with Intune and eSIM provisioning, and discuss why cellular laptops haven't broadly taken off (cost, plans, coverage) and how Apple's modems and multi-carrier services might change adoption.00:00 Welcome & New Co-Host Mike Dano Joins the 6G Podcast01:10 Why the Rebrand Now: 5G Lull, MWC & Samsung Unpacked Tease02:03 5G Americas Shuts Down: What It Says About the Market Cycle05:41 Samsung + KT Hit 3 Gbps in 7 GHz: Early 6G Trial Reality Check07:32 Where 6G Spectrum Lands: 7 GHz, Propagation, and Terahertz Hype Fades12:58 Ookla Report Spotlight: 5G Standalone Boosts Battery Life (and Why It Matters)17:54 Kinetic Tokens & Physical AI: T-Mobile's Vision for Low-Latency 6G22:51 Is T-Mobile's “GPU in Every Base Station” Plan Actually Viable?24:16 The Edge Compute Case: Double-Dipping GPUs for AI + XR Graphics26:29 AI Wearables, AR Glasses, and Why 6G Timing Could Favor T-Mobile28:27 The $710B Data Center Boom: What Hyperscaler Spend Means for Telecom30:36 Powering AI: Natural Gas, Turbines, and the Nuclear Buildout Debate31:25 Neo-Clouds & AI Transport: Private Backbone Links, Akamai GPU Rentals, and Wall Street Doubts37:40 Microsoft + Ericsson Bring Enterprise 5G Management Natively to Windows 1140:00 Why 5G Laptops Still Haven't Taken Off (Cost, Plans, Battery, Coverage)41:41 What Changes in 6G: Apple Modems, Multi-Carrier Service, and the Road Ahead (Wrap-Up)

In the third episode of Down the Garden Path's "Houseplant Chat" series, Joanne discusses propagation, a simple and rewarding way to expand your plant collection. Topics discussed: Quick recap of Houseplant Chat #1 and #2: winter light, soil refresh/repotting, and watering What propagation is (and why it's easier than starting from seed) Best beginner-friendly plants to propagate: pothos and philodendrons Fixing a long, "leggy" trailing plant by trimming and replanting rooted cuttings back into the base to fill it out How to take cuttings: clean tools, cut around leaf nodes, and root in water How long rooting can take (and why patience pays off, especially for woodier plants) "Mother plant" strategy: pruning the original plant and using the cuttings to rebuild a fuller shape Gift and budget-friendly uses: making plants to share, sell, or give as gifts A reminder that plants are more resilient than we think, and even cut stems can be decorative in water Using propagation as décor: greenery in vases for low-light areas and windowless rooms Takeaways and Tips: Start with easy wins: pothos and philodendrons root quickly and are beginner-proof. Always cut near a node: that's where roots are most likely to form. Use clean, sharp tools: cleaner cuts make for healthier cuttings. Re-fill leggy plants: root cuttings, then plant them back into the pot to thicken the base and make the plant look brand new. Don't panic if something snaps off: trim it neatly, pop it in water, and see what happens. Water propagation can double as décor: a vase of cuttings adds life to dark corners, and you can pot them up later. Expect slower rooting on woody plants: they can still work, but they take longer. Experiment without fear: some cuttings won't take (and that's okay) because the learning is part of the fun. Have a topic you'd like Joanne to discuss?

Winter is here in the UK, so while Saul and Lucy hunker down, don layers and fire up the kettle more frequently than usual, what do their minds turn to in the garden? This is the perfect season for clearance of 2025 growth, for establishing new designs and for de-cluttering stores and greenhouses. Any hours that you can put into the garden now, will reward you hugely come spring and summer, when the jobs mount up. Quick - more tea and biscuits!With Saul having indoor mouse problems (three of them!) and Lucy admitting her addiction to homogenous gravel, the duo reveal what really presses a professional gardener's buttons during winter. Thankfully, rose pruning season is also in earnest so Lucy is getting her horticultural fix. Saul has been pressing new buttons, too (see his instagram link, below) and discovering that in social media world, January is the new February for seed sowing. Is this wise, or should seed packets remain closed a little longer?

Heirloom chrysanthemums fill an important role for local growers- as very late bloomers they can be one of the last flowers in the fall to keep cash flow going after others have succumbed to the cold. Our guest this week, Kate Dagnal of Goose Creek Gardens, grows thousands of bouquets every year for grocery stores, and heirloom chrysanthemums are the anchor flower she uses to finish out the season. In this interview we go deep on everything you need to know to grow great heirloom chrysanthemums, including propagation, growing, harvesting and postharvest.We discuss why new varieties of mums aren't being sold in the US (thus the term “heirloom”) and some important differences mums have from other flowers- they need to be propagated from cuttings, and day length is what triggers them to bloom. Heirloom mums come in a wide range of shapes and colors- from big focal flowers to delicate sprays- so they can play many different roles in late season design work. They also have excellent vase life if handled properly- listen to this week's interview for everything from how to propagate, what stage to harvest, how much frost protection they need, how to handle after harvest, favorite varieties and more! Connect With Guest:Website: goosecreekgardens.comInstagram: @goosecreekgardens Free companion article:All about chrysanthemums by Rebecca Kutzer-Rice from Growing for Market MagazineHuge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support: This episode is brought to you by Tend, the all-in-one, AI-powered farm management platform trusted by modern growers.

SUCCESS BY DESIGN: THE SECRET STRATEGY FOR QUALITY VEGETATIVELY PROPAGATED SPRING CROPS FROM THE JANUARY 2026 ISSUE OF GROWERTALKS MAGAZINE WRITTEN BY CHRISTOPHER J. CURREY NARRATED BY BILL CALKINS   EXCERPT: The secret strategy for quality vegetatively propagated spring crops isn't too complicated: healthy cuttings, healthy rooted liners, healthy finished crops. While much is written and discussed about managing fertilizer when finishing containerized spring crops, managing nutrients during cutting propagation receives less attention. But to produce healthy rooted cuttings, cutting fertilization needs to be managed across all five stages of liner production: Stage 0—Prior to harvest or arrival of cuttings; Stage 1— Cutting arrival and sticking; Stage 2—Callusing; Stage 3—Root development; and Stage 4—Toning.

Recently(ish) someone brought a video to my attention from a soil scientist who was talking about the concern with perlite and fluoride toxicity. There were a few issues with the data and the points presented, and while the studies I found that line up with this video do show little cause for concern, they weren't designed with real-world applicability in mind. Listen to the episode for these points as well as what we can do to minimize risk. And, as always, Oh Happy Dirt remains perlite-free because it's my job to make it the absolute best available :) Also, right now (end of October/early November 2025) there's a sale on: spend $50, get a free quart of either V's Mix or our hoya soil.

Send us a textOn this episode of The Plant Movement Podcast, host Willie Rodriguez sits down with Ara Flink, founder of Propagation Diaries, to explore the fast-growing world of houseplants, creativity, and innovation in plant care. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, Ara has built a thriving business around one key idea, houseplants deserve accessories that are as beautiful and functional as the plants themselves.Originally from Costa Rica, Ara's journey took an unexpected turn from medical school to plant entrepreneurship. After noticing a lack of stylish, high-quality supports for indoor plants, she began designing her own trellises—crafted from iridescent acrylic and locally manufactured in the U.S. Her creations quickly gained popularity, leading to the launch of PropagationDiaries.com, where she now sells trellises, plant care tools, and self-watering products that combine design with purpose.In this inspiring conversation, Ara shares:- How she transformed a creative idea into a successful product line supporting the houseplant community.- Insights on scaling a small business, expanding into wholesale, and preparing for her debut at TPIE 2025.- The challenges of eco-friendly packaging, manufacturing in the U.S., and managing operations with a small team.- Why collaboration over competition could transform the plant industry.- The future of the houseplant market and how live sales, influencers, and social media are reshaping it.Ara's story is a testament to passion, innovation, and persistence—showing how the plant community continues to evolve through creativity and connection.

Here's my current nonsense: plants in a jar! Plus: sale announcement, and the sewer rat of hope :)

This Tech On Demand podcast episode is all about propagation, biosolutions and starting your crops strong from the earliest stages. Host Bill Calkins is joined by Kristen Fowler, a technical sales consultant with Koppert who not only works with propagators but spent many years in leading propagation greenhouses as a grower—so she's no stranger to the importance of optimizing plants at the most critical times during production.   In this episode Bill and Kristen discuss the importance of cleanliness before and after young plants are received, tips for assessing cuttings when they arrive at your greenhouse (you don't want to push poor product onto your benches), consistent scouting and working with suppliers to understand what's been applied to young plants before they come through your door. They also dig deep into what biological products can be used during each propagation stage (some products work well under mist, and some do not) and a roadmap to follow for protection when roots emerge, mitigating insect and mite pest pressure early on and biosolutions to apply at the time of transplant. With such a strong understanding of the propagation environment, Kristen is keenly aware that the best way to introduce many biological strategies and hybrid approaches is to work within existing propagation processes and not change too many protocols—think tank mixes, boom applications and different options for different systems.   RESOURCES: Koppert U.S. Koppert Consultants & Locations Koppert Contact Koppert Crop Protection Products Koppert's Side Effects Guide App 2025 GrowerTalks Biosolutions Guide 2026 GrowerTalks Insecticide, Miticide & Fungicide Guide (English) 2026 GrowerTalks Insecticide, Miticide & Fungicide Guide (Spanish)

Education means that people have to come to some mature knowledge and awareness of what's right and wrong and what the important values in life are. It's not just about vocation, but the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam goes right to the point of the real values in life, how to attain them, and why it's important to act in a certain way. That's because there are consequences to everything that we do, and if we take up the simple, direct processes mentioned in the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam for practicing devotion to God in practical ways, then we'll not only be happy, but we'll also be able to make other people happy. So the propagation of Śrīmad Bhāgavatam is the greatest welfare activity, according to those in the line of the teachings of Śrīmad Bhāgavatam. That's what the sages mention, or asked at Naimiṣāraṇya: "How to do the greatest good for the most people? How to benefit the soul?" And the answer was to show people how to perform devotional service to God, so that it's continuous and it is in a mood of service, not expectant of receiving something in return. So we have inherited that. Therefore, in ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness), the first order of the day is a Śrīmad Bhāgavatam class. All around the world people come together; they'll sit in assembly and they'll hear from the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam. If you read one verse a day, you'll finish the whole book in 50 years. But you can also take it home and have it in your house, and you can read more if you want. I have noticed that any environment can be uplifted by reading Śrīmad Bhāgavatam aloud. It seems as if, oftentimes, there's no solution to the problems that face us. Have you ever felt like that? It happens a lot. There are things that come up, and you think, "How am I going to get out of this one?" And the solution is to raise one's consciousness. And how might one do that?

Im letzten Teil unserer kleinen Trilogie mit Bezügen zur aktuellen Lage in den USA widmet sich der Hamburger Anzeiger vom 22. Juni 1925 den Kulturkämpfen rund um die Evolutionstheorie, die im Bundesstaat Tennessee auf der Anklagebank saß. Diese der wörtlich verstandenen biblischen Erzählung widersprechende Erklärung für die Biodiversität repräsentierte der Lehrer John Scopes, der es gewagt hatte, Darwin und die Abstammung vom Affen im Unterricht zu erwähnen. Der Prozess ging in die Geschichte als „Scopes Monkey Trial“ ein. Da es in diesem Bundesstaat ein Gesetz gab, den „Butler Act“, der die Verbreitung der Evolutionstheorie verbot, wurde Scopes schuldig gesprochen und musste eine Strafzahlung leisten. Spannend ist dabei, wie sehr dieser Prozess auch 1925 wesentlich auf eine mediale Propagation und eine Inszenierung dieses Kulturkampfes abzielte. Dass diese Inszenierung erfolgreich war, davon zeugt die Präsenz in allen Hamburger Tageszeitungen. Es liest Rosa Leu.

Brian Sayers // 2 Timothy 1:3-7; 3:14-17 Sermon notes

Foundations of Amateur Radio Recently I saw a social media post featuring a screenshot of some random website with pretty charts and indicators describing "current HF propagation". Aside from lacking a date, it helpfully included notations like "Solar Storm Imminent" and "Band Closed". It made me wonder, not for the first time, what the reliability of this type of notification is. Does it actually indicate what you might expect when you get on air to make noise, is it globally relevant, is the data valid or real-time? You get the idea. How do you determine the relationship between this pretty display and reality? Immediately the WSPR or Weak Signal Propagation Reporter database came to mind. It's a massive collection of signal reports capturing time, band, station and other parameters, one of which is the Signal To Noise ratio or SNR. If the number of sun spots, or a geomagnetic index change affected propagation, can we see an effect on the SNR? Although there's close on a million records per day, I'll note in advance that my current approach of taking a daily average across all reports on a specific band, completely ignores the number of reports, the types and direction of antennas, the distance between stations, transmitter power, local noise or any number of other variables. Using the online "wspr.live" database, looking only at 2024, I linked the daily recorded WSPR SNR average per band to the Sun Spot Numbers and Geomagnetic Index and immediately ran into problems. For starters the daily Sun Spot Number or SSN, from the Royal Observatory in Belgium does not appear to be complete. I'm not yet sure why. For example, there's only 288 days of SSN data in 2024. Does this mean that the observers were on holiday on the other 78 days, or was the SSN zero? Curiously there's 60 days where there's more than one recording and as a bonus, on New Years Eve 2024, there's three recordings, all with the same time stamp, midnight, with 181, 194 and 194 sun spots, so I took the daily average. Also, I ignored the timezone, since that's not apparent. Similarly the Geomagnetic Index data from the Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam, Germany has several weird artefacts around 1970's data, but fortunately not within 2024 that I saw. The data is collected every three hours, so I averaged that, too. After excluding days where the SSN was missing, I ran into the next issue, my database query was too big, understandable, since there are many reports in this database, 2 billion, give or take, for 2024 alone. Normally I'd be running this type of query on my own hardware, but you might know that I lost my main research computer last year, well, I didn't lose it as such, I can see it from where I am right now, but it won't power up. Money aside, I've been working on it, but being unceremoniously moved from Intel to ARM is not something I'd recommend. I created a script that extracted the data, one day at a time, with 30 seconds between each query. Three hours later I had preliminary numbers. The result was 6,239 records across 116 bands, which of course should immediately spark interest, since we don't really have that many bands. I sorted the output by the number of reports per band and discovered that the maximum number of days per band was 276. This in turn should surprise you, since there's 365 days in a year, well technically a smidge more, but for now, 365 is fine, not to mention that 2024 was a leap-year. So, what happened to the other 90 days? We know that 78 are missing because the SSN wasn't in the database but the other 12 days? I'm going to ignore that too. I removed all the bands that had less than 276 reports per day, leaving 17 bands, including the well known 13 MHz band, the what, yeah, there's a few others like that. I removed the obvious weird band, but what's the 430 MHz band, when the 70cm band in WSPR is defined as 432 MHz? I manually created 15 charts plotting dates against SNR, SSN, Kp and ap indices. Remember, this is a daily average of each of these, just to get a handle on what I'm looking at. Immediately several things become apparent. There are plenty of bands where the relationship between the average SNR and the other influences appear to be negligible. We can see the average SNR move up and down across the year, following the seasons - which raises a specific question. If the SNR is averaged across the whole planet from all WSPR stations, why are we seeing seasonal variation, given that while it's Winter here in VK, it's Summer on the other side of the equator? If you compare the maximum average SNR of a band against the minimum average SNR of the same band, you can get a sense of how much the sun spots and geomagnetic index influences the planet as a whole on that band. The band with the least amount of variation is the 30m band. Said differently, with all the changes going on around propagation, the 30m band appears to be the most stable, followed by the 12m and 15m bands. The SNR across all of HF varies, on average, no more than 5 dB. The higher the band, the more variation there is. Of course it's also possible that there's less reports there, so we might be seeing the impact of individual station variables more keenly. It's too early for conclusions, but I can tell you that this gives us plenty of new questions to ask. I'm Onno VK6FLAB

Have you seen those trendy companies that sell pseudo-fancy soil for aroids, but the only thing in it is big chunks? Here's why to avoid this!

Foundations of Amateur Radio Recently Glynn VK6PAW and I had the opportunity to play radio. This isn't something that happens often so we try to make the most of it. For our efforts we had plenty of frustrations, to the point where we were joking that I should rename this to "Frustrations of Amateur Radio". That was until we heard something weird on-air. All setup shenanigans forgotten, we marvelled at the experience. I was playing around on the 10m band, trying to hear people making noise and potentially our first contact for the field day we were participating in, when I heard something odd. Two stations talking to each other, but the audio was strange. It was like they were doubling up, the same audio played a fraction of a second later, until that moment, something I've only ever heard in a radio studio whilst editing using a reel-to-reel tape machine with separate recording and playback heads. Having just started using a digital only radio, at first I thought this was an artefact of the radio. I took note of the frequency, 28.460 MHz and told Glynn about it. After we moved the telescopic vertical antenna to the analogue radio, we discovered that this was in fact real, not caused by the radios, no doubt a relief to the proud owner of both radios, Glynn, who was thinking more clearly than I. He took note of the callsigns, Dom VK2HJ and Yukiharu JE1CSW. Looking back now, an audio recording would have been helpful. At the time I suggested that this might be a case of long path and short path signals arriving at our station and being able to hear both. If you're not sure what that means, when you transmit, an antenna essentially radiates in all directions and signals travel all over the globe. Some head directly towards your destination, the short path, others head in exactly the opposite direction, taking the long way around Earth, the long path. You might think that the majority of contacts are made using the short path, but it regularly happens the other way around, where the long path is heard and the short path is not. As you might know, radio waves essentially bounce up and down between the ionosphere and Earth and it might happen that the signal arrives at the destination antenna, or it might happen that it bounces right over the top, making either short path or long path heard, or not. In this case, both arrived clearly audible. It wasn't until I sat down on the couch afterwards with a calculator that I was able to at least prove to my own satisfaction that this is what we heard. So, what were those calculations and what was the delay? The circumference of Earth is roughly 40,000 km. RF propagation travels at the speed of light, or about 300,000 km/s. It takes about 0.13 seconds or 130 milliseconds for a radio signal to travel around Earth. At this point you might realise that 40,000 km is measured at the surface, but ionospheric propagation happens in the ionosphere, making the circumference at the very top of the ionosphere about 45,000 km, which would take 150 ms. There are several things that need to line up for this all to work. Propagation aside, the distance between all three stations needs to be such that the number of hops between each combination is a whole number so we can all hear each other. As it happens, the distance between Perth in Western Australia and Maebashi City in Japan is pretty close to the distance between Goulburn in New South Wales and Japan, and the distance between Goulburn and Perth is roughly half that. Using back of napkin trigonometry, it appears that 27 hops around the planet are required to make this happen. That's five hops between Perth and Japan, and between Goulburn and Japan, and two hops between Goulburn and Perth, and 27 hops between Perth and Japan the long way around. Given that the F2 layer where the 10m signal is refracted exists between about 220 km and 800 km, we can estimate that the total delay for the long path is at least 144 ms. That doesn't really translate into anything you might relate to, but at 8 wpm a Morse code dit takes 150 milliseconds, which gives you a sense of how long the echo delay is. In other words, it's something that you can absolutely hear without needing to measure it. There are other implications. WSPR signals are used to test weak signal propagation. Stations around the globe report on what they can hear and when. For this to work, the signal need to be synchronised, something which is commonly implemented using something called NTP, or Network Time Protocol. It can achieve a time accuracy of 10 ms. GPS locked WSPR beacons can achieve an accuracy of 40 nanoseconds. In other words, if we know that the beacon and the receiver are time synchronised, we can probably detect if the signal arrived using a short path or a long path. The WSPR decoder tracks the time between when the signal arrived and 2 seconds past an even minute as perceived by the receiver. Gwyn G3ZIL wrote an interesting document called "Timescale wsprdaemon database queries V2" on the subject of the data format used by wsprdaemon, a tool used to analyse WSPR beacon transmissions. If this is something you want to play with, check out wsprdaemon.org From our adventures there was plenty to take away. Stay curious, go portable, take notes, practice putting up an antenna, keep a log, laugh and have fun, and last but not least, get on air and make noise. Before I forget, make sure your mate brings a pen for logging when your own trusty scribble stick suddenly gives up the ghost for no apparent reason. I knew there was a reason I prefer pencils.

Les chiens sont interdits en Antarctique depuis 1994 en raison de préoccupations écologiques et sanitaires. Cette interdiction s'inscrit dans le cadre du Protocole de Madrid sur la protection de l'environnement en Antarctique, signé en 1991 par les pays membres du Traité sur l'Antarctique. Voici les raisons scientifiques et pratiques derrière cette décision. 1. Risque pour la faune localeL'Antarctique abrite une faune unique, notamment des phoques et des oiseaux marins comme les manchots. Ces espèces n'ont pas évolué pour se défendre contre des prédateurs terrestres comme les chiens. Si des chiens de traîneau venaient à s'échapper ou à être relâchés, ils pourraient devenir une menace pour ces animaux vulnérables. Les chiens pourraient les chasser, perturber leurs colonies ou introduire un stress dans leur environnement. 2. Propagation de maladiesLes chiens peuvent transmettre des maladies infectieuses à la faune antarctique. Un risque particulier est le morbillivirus des canidés, qui peut affecter gravement les phoques et d'autres mammifères marins. L'introduction de ces agents pathogènes, inexistants en Antarctique avant l'arrivée des humains et de leurs animaux, pourrait entraîner des épidémies dévastatrices dans des populations animales non immunisées. 3. Préservation d'un environnement viergeL'Antarctique est un environnement fragile et isolé, où les écosystèmes sont très sensibles aux perturbations extérieures. Les chiens, en tant qu'espèce introduite, pourraient modifier l'équilibre écologique, que ce soit par leur comportement ou par leur alimentation. Le Protocole de Madrid vise à minimiser l'impact humain sur ce continent, y compris en interdisant l'introduction d'espèces non indigènes. 4. Alternatives modernesHistoriquement, les chiens de traîneau étaient utilisés pour l'exploration et la logistique en Antarctique, comme par les expéditions de Roald Amundsen et d'Ernest Shackleton. Cependant, avec les avancées technologiques, les véhicules à moteur comme les motoneiges ont remplacé les chiens. Ces machines, bien que non exemptes d'impact écologique, réduisent les risques liés aux espèces introduites.L'interdiction des chiens en Antarctique reflète une volonté internationale de protéger cet environnement unique des pressions extérieures. En empêchant l'introduction d'espèces étrangères, comme les chiens, les scientifiques et les gouvernements cherchent à préserver la biodiversité antarctique, tout en limitant les risques sanitaires pour la faune indigène. Cette mesure s'inscrit dans une approche globale de conservation et de respect des écosystèmes polaires. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.
