Hi Roger,
as Nick, VE7DXR said already on this reflector I have to confirm that the
expected "peak" should be more or less the significant decreasing of the noise
in fact and due to that effect the rapid S/N improvement.
I reviewed my very old logs from 80's (when I was active on TB as OL1BVR almost
daily) and I found several notices in my log around the SR about dramatic
decreasing the noise during the grey line phenomenon on TB which is raised up
back with the coming full daylight.
On the other hand Dave, W0FLS and others referring to an increase in actual
signal levels (with corresponding increase in S/N).
So it looks like both of these effects are playing the role in the game...
Is there anybody who made an observation using some SDR + PC s/w spectrum
measurement during the SR/SS please?
Best regards,
