[Elecraft] OT but not really that much

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.

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.


Ted, KN1CBR
