Magnetic storms for beginners
I’ve always been a fan of the television series called “Nova” on PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) and I found a great video clip discussing magnetic storms and its effect on our planet. It is with unequivocal certainty that any significant … Continue reading
RCAF’s Antenna fundamentals
In 1959, the RCAF – Royal Canadian Air Force – made a serie of interesting training video clips on Antenna Fundamentals, with the help from the Canadian National Film Board. I love these old training documents, they hold a gold mine of … Continue reading
Beginner’s guide to HF radio propagation
A long long time ago, as a kid, I had the chance to experiment with community band (CB) radios. On some occasions, especially during the summer season, we would receive signals from far far away and occasionally established two way … Continue reading
