[Elecraft] Solar Cycle

[EricJ]

Secrets of the Sun. Took 5 seconds on google to discover it is on 
youtube.com, and blocked in my area (So Cal) on PBS.

I assume it is the most current program in the Nova series, but I missed the actual title as I didn’t tune in until about 5 minutes after it started.  Sometimes there is a slight lag between on air viewing and their website availability, but just about every Nova program ends up on the website for viewing online.  Check the dates shown, and it should be the one for this week.  If it’s not there yet, it will be, and they even said it would be available online.  Also, most PBS stations broadcast Nova multiple times during the week, so check your own station’s schedule for the week.  Looking at OPB’s schedule, I think the title may be “ Secrets OF The Sun”.  Here it is being aired multiple times this week.

My other favorite is “Frontline”, but, of course, there are still other superb programs that are pure entertainment, like “Masterpiece”.  If you are not a regular PBS viewer, I think you are really missing something!  My satellite TV system gives me just about anything that is available, but in truth, I could probably survive quite nicely with just two channels—PBS and Turner Classic Movies!  Well, I do like to watch a little golf and football!  Hi.
