Hi All, An on-line friend recently sent me this timely link re. an upcoming NASA experiment that involves the releasing of an aluminum oxide "cloud" some 60 miles above earth: http://www.aopa.org/air

Hi Eddy, Don't get your hopes up. For one thing, aluminum oxide is a very good insulator - its conductivity is around 10 to the 14th ohm.cm - although it has a high dielectric constant (around 9 to 1

The peak of the nighttime E region is around 110 km, so 100 km is not too far below the E region. The lower E region is also where most absorption at night occurs on 160m. More to the point, refract

Carl, I thought someone, maybe NASA tried this many years ago and their folley was that the universal gravitational force equation did in the whole project because once 2 particles attach to one anot

As I remember the earlier project, it was an effort in the early or mid 1960s to create perpetual worldwide twilight by shooting millions of tiny copper needles into the upper atmosphere. I remember

Some of you may be thinking of "Project West Ford", conducted in the early 1960's by MIT Lincoln Laboratory (where I work now). Many millions of tiny "needles" were launched into orbit to generate an

Thanks John. There's an interesting article about Project West Ford on Wikipedia, which describes the failed 1961 launch (the one I remember), and the successful 1963 launch. Apparently, radio astron
