Cristi, According to Ionospheric Radio (Davies) the geomagnetic variations caused by the Moon are usually small. I believe they are due to the Moons gravitational tug on the ionosphere. My best guess
I don't think I can add any more than what's already been posted previously on the topband reflector. Go to the topband searchable archives and do a search on "moon". Of the many postings, two intere

Hello Carl, Thanks for suggestion to dig in the archive of this list. I find interesting the following posts: 21.0ct.2002 NM7M Bob, G3REP Bob; The very best is the one of Bob G3REP on 07 Oct 2004! Is
Cris, I agree - trying to separate out any effect of the moon from other variables will likely prove to be very difficult. This could also be done with exisiting low frequency BC beacons that are the
Carl, This could also be done with exisiting low frequency BC beacons that are there every day - for example, a W6 listening to an Asian beacon every day at the same time for a year as you suggested.
Cris, I did a google search for "Beacons for 160M" and found: http://www.ok1rr.com/view.php?cisloclanku=2006030101 A fellow has (or had) a receiver set up to answer the phone (via SKYPE). You can lis
Hello Roy, Thanks for the information from our friend Google:) I'm aware of those WEB pages and read theme all before. I don't know if GB3SSS is till on the air but, for the proposed experiment is ne
But you would have to know and record the absolute signal level changes referenced to some starting point for a long period of time every night for many nights. I would guess at least a year. The re
Barring disaster, Cris, a MW broadcaster's signal should be very predictable, as their pattern and power is a condition of their licence, and in many parts of the world, the information is in the pub
How could we record the signal level, anyone know? 73 Tom _______________________________________________ Topband mailing list Topband@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/topb
I'm not sure how badly I want to display the gaps in my knowledge about this problem to those on the list, Tom! My feeling is that the least of the worries is automated recording of signal strength;
Hello Tom, I already said that. In order to appreciate the variation of the signal (especially during a long period of time) on should refer to a calibrated source. This could be a signal stable gene

Actually I'm looking for the specific tool, not so much a general idea. I would like to know because I have been thinking a long time about comparing the signal level on three antennas, dipole at 30
Hello Tom, Actually I'm looking for the specific tool, not so much a general idea. OK. Sorry for the long "theoretical" explanation from the previous e-mail. You can try Radio SkyPipe. This is writte
