Edition One Program Highlights

Here are the highlights from Edition One, to be released at 2000 UTC, on July 18, 2009:

1. Tomas interviews Art Jackson, Amateur Radio Operator, KA5DWI. Art is a record-holder on VHF troposcatter, and an enthusiastic participant of the PropNET project. Art has been researching the Spring and Summer sporadic-E (Es) phenomena. He has compiled and written a paper (35+ pages) on 4 years of data (50,000+ 'Catches', 119 calls). Time and continued curiosity have made him decide to add a 5th year to this research. Art has arrived at some revealing conclusions. In Edition One of this podcast, the first part of our interview with Art explores the 2009 Sporadic-E season, and interesting observations from the PropNET project. (Edition Two will continue the interview).

2. Tomas discusses recent solar cycle activity (or the lack of it), and editorializes on the current status of this new Sunspot Cycle 24. Tomas does not agree with some of the conclusions in vogue.

3. Tomas provides a review of the last week in space weather and the resulting radio propagation.

4. The space weather forecast of the coming week is then given, as well as the general outlook for radio propagation.
