NervousAndJerky User ID: 26642306 United States 11/14/2012 02:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ya, we saw this about 2 weeks ago. Turns out it's an harmonic of a signal broadcasting over the horizon from them. That's skipping of the ionosphere. Propagation. Last Edited by NervousAndJerky on 11/14/2012 02:05 PM |

"Hope this helps you guys with the meteor scan frequency... We went through this a little over a month ago and this was the response from N.L.O. I got an email back guys! We've been observing the N.L.O. Live Meteor Detection where something has been coming in for almost two hours now... Has something like this happened before? We're also listening in at Spaceweatherradio.com and it is being detected there as well. Any information would be greatly appreciated - thank you. "This is the direct signal received from the over-the-horizon radar we use, caused by a natural phenomenon known as tropospheric propagation [link to en.wikipedia.org] This occurs on our system on average about 3 or 4 times a year and typically lasts 1 – 2 days on each occasion. It is an indication of radio “lift” conditions in western Europe." Quoting: Sol1d1nt3l Quoting: Sol1d1nt3l Last Edited by NervousAndJerky on 11/14/2012 02:10 PM |

NervousAndJerky User ID: 26642306 United States 11/14/2012 02:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ok, so now what are 'radio lift conditions', and why western europe? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26860799 Radio is a line of sight kind of thing. So the waves travel in a line, they don't curve around the Earth. So, the Earth has an Ionosphere made up of charged particles,ie. electrons, ions. It wraps around the Earth at verying altitudes. When conditions are right, the Ionosphere acts like a mirror bouncing the radio waves back to Earth.. around the curve of the Earth. It's called Lift or Skip. It's active from the station we are discussing toward western Europe apparently. Skipping can work repeatedly. resulting in some very long distance events. In other words multiple skips. These conditons improve or increase exponentially when the Suns cycle is active. From the charging of the Ionosphere from the Solar wind, as well as CME and flair activity. |

If it is the phenomenon spoken of above that happens four times a year and usually lasts one to two days then I'm gonna keep my eye on it and see if it continues. |
