Topband: Sprites

[Bruce]

Mike,

In one part of the NOVA program, dialog was  "the airglow confirms that 
sprites interact with the ionosphere"
There were other references as to sprites into ionosphere

Most of our DX propagation is via the ionosphere. A sprite propagation 
change maybe possible, but is not proven.
Progress is learning beyond what we already know. (open mind theory)

Here in Maine, 160 meter condition had been very good, then all propagation 
was lost within minutes. It sounded like noon-time again.
I could, how ever, still  hear one ground wave fish net locator.( : > ) )

After a short commercial, it is very interesting. They are doing such 
research.
