Amazing Radio Propagation News Release.

Ham Radio Breaking News

[@peter-vk3acz]

Yep… and here in Australia we received news of an insect plague which farmers were worried would decimate our spaghetti crops! Cheers, Peter VK3ACZ

[@mikewalsh511]

Super Bowl channel 6 on CB has already been doing this for years!

[@BarefootBeekeeper]

Finally a use for all those old CB radios gathering dust in attics...

[@robertabbott7770]

A day early ? Happy Easter Peter .

[@scottb.2022]

Very well done! Thank you.

[@VK5FUSE]

😎👍📡🛰 Thanks for sharing with us all Peter Happy Easter . 73

[@watersstanton]

My pleasure! Like the VK call!

[@user-yv3xb7to1z]

I was a sete member for many years and thank you for the video

[@2E0YKD]

Very good Peter, well done.

[@Glenn04au]

I have noticed when there is a large CQ contest running, how the bands seem to open up. Could this be the affect of broadcasted radio waves supporting the reflective layer?

[@joelaut12]

So droll! Thanks Peter!

[@michaelkaliski7651]

Just bounce signals off the Starlink satellite constellation. The density is just approaching the critical level that will allow 24 hour communication between any two points on Earth. VHF and UHF frequencies are best for this purpose and the Moon can be used as a backup if there is an unfortunate gap in coverage for any reason.

[@peterhatfield]

Nice one Peter!

[@goodfriend6428]

Thank you!

[@CamilleCullen-ow6qj]

Very interesting, many thanks!! Robert K5TPC

[@lonewolfhamradio]

Very useful information thank you 🙏🏻 🙃

[@brianfields4479]

Thanks for sharing Peter, I think it's a great idea, as so many ops now have big amps and are not sure what to do with them, and of course you are a day early as many have pointed out, but obviously this is the effect of this new type of propagation. With this in mind, I think uk ops should rally ofcom to have 10kw amps, that way, apart from yourself of course, some might get a signal further than eu hi. I did read this a day ago of course, living in zl. Cheers mate.

[@watersstanton]

Hi Brian. Sorry about the time difference. I reckon 10kW might light up the sky and blow a few fuses! 73 Peter.

[@danielbeights6587]

LOL! You had me going for a minute!

[@kazcat8096]

This was talked about back in the 90's they found this effect afther big us contests where a lot of 1 to 2kw stations was on the air

[@ROBByJONEs-2]

oh nooooooo and i was geting ready to put out power lolol.. but we do indeed need humour these days TY Sir..

[@bjrnungjensen1842]

I do this all the time with my NVIS cloudburner antenna....although on a slightly lower scale. Works fine... ;-)

[@nealbeach4947]

Do we all send a triple sideband digital CW signal on the same frequency?

[@evertwenderpirt6328]

Caught me hook, line and sinker!

[@GlynJones-ew8qu]

Nice one glad I watched before midday lol

[@PeterJavea]

And I was just thinking, half way through, to relay this to my local radio club site. Thank goodness I listened right to the end ! 🙃 Thanks.. it goes to show how much respect we have for your every word ! Peter in Brussels Belgium ON3VCF

[@watersstanton]

Oh well it always pays to listen to the whole video. 73 Peter

[@KD2ZTA]

You totally had me at the start! LMAO.

[@RobertMacCready]

And a screen saver on his computer of himself. OMG!!!!

[@StanPope-ru4ox]

There is a long-standing tradition that popular contests open the ham bands. The alternative is that if everyone is listening, open bands sound dead.

[@watersstanton]

Good point!

[@johnham9256]

Thanks Peter happy HAARP

[@Supernumerary]

Come on! This is very old information. ~30 years ago they had capability to temporarily push up the upper atmosphere so that ICBM’s would burn up. By the way- I truly admire Waters-Stanton. Excellent, carefully prepared presentations.

[@steveblanchard7293]

Hotel Chocolate sent me a great AF. They are going to turn the Cambridge Factory into a Cacoe Rain Forest World!

[@ei7ijb]

I was busy with my chores around the home and I missed the last part. Thank RF for the comments section 😶

[@johnorrells3797]

Happy April 1st

[@johnmknox]

I'm looking forward to RM and Zetagi making a megawatt pulse linear amp for CB radio. 🤦‍♂

[@glyn1]

Just seen your line isolator have Seen the clip on RF chokes do they work just wounding. witch is the best ferrite ring or clip on ferrite ring

[@daviddelaney363]

neat idea. Count me and my 100W 7300 in to assist :).

[@waynehendrix4806]

Isn't this amazing? Almost like a natural transistor. Exciting the base. Sounds possible enough. It's also possible to have really good 10 meter propagation for about 3 minutes during a nuclear explosion... "N3xxx, last transmission, 73". "Thank you station, your signal is a good 25/81coming in. This is KI03, clear on your final."

[@DaveW6OOD]

That’s curious, it sounds just like on 27 MHz after dinner time.

[@watersstanton]

Nice one!

[@David-km8in]

Your pulling my coax.

[@JamesWrightNanuma]

Gaaak! Swallowed hook, line and sinker... burrrrp!

[@petersheldon3558]

Nice one, very convincing 😂

[@johnemery7962]

It took me 7 minutes and 54 seconds, nice one Peter 😂

[@rjy8960]

The Russians have been putting putting mirrors into space for many years with a specific polarisation for Russian signals. I think it's 1 degree off axis and they have them hidden close to the "апрель" GNSS satellite constellation. I operate through QO-100 and one day I will see if I can work over one.

[@coldwater5707]

That is interesting. Do you have any links for articles regarding that?

[@rjy8960]

@@coldwater5707Translate "апрель" - Sorry ;)

[@gerardosullivan1642]

Will be back to basic radio communication When the satellites go down.

[@DaveW6OOD]

👍

[@Porco_Utah]

that may be why propagation during cold war was better mega watts HF broadcasters , and jammers for them. knowing HARP exist it may have some effect. AG6JU

[@MI7DJT]

Nearly had me ;)

[@obrienaj]

hook line and sinker

[@Andy2e0ree]

This is true look at when there is a competition weekend all the bands become active when 3hrs before they start the bands are dead de 2e0ree

[@splnail]

you got me

[@kengrey7263]

Nice April 1st. However, you are surely old enough to remember the Luxemburg effect?

[@timmcilraith8762]

We know materials that carry electricity, eg, copper, aluminium, iron, carbon, etc. can be used to direct or beam radio waves. Why don't we smoke cigarettes under our antennas to direct transmission nvis on a calm day or sideways on a windy day ?

[@watersstanton]

Health hazard?

[@hamshackleton]

April first is tomorrow.

[@TheGoo5e]

Woo hoo. We can turn on everyones TVs at the same time. When do we start

[@rustyholt6619]

if you can pulse megawatts,, send data with that

[@nickjparker1979]

April 1st is tomorrow....

[@adambaker1740]

It's Apr 01 in VK now

[@gregmay9097]

How long did it take for you to come up with that one Peter? Have a great APRIL 1st everybody.

[@watersstanton]

Cheers!

[@wilhelmjaeschke7400]

Many tanks Peter. I love such jokes !!! vy 73 de dk7dn

[@davidportch8837]

ha ha ha... you got me...

[@johnmilton7578]

I think you may be a day early Peter.

[@Billymeir]

Happy AF day

[@mrvdbos]

It's a good one!🤣

[@mi6xgzjon186]

🤣🤣 nice one😂😂

[@chrisspeakman7215]

Was that an April fool Joke ? it was wasn't it L.o.L.:) It may be that my long wire antenna and a.t.u. is a poor antenna system , But from here in the U.K. It would appear that good H.F. radio conditions are a thing of the past ? 73's DE G4MXC

[@DickieBird888]

Look up operation fishbowl.... been doing this since the 60s... Saw a video on here talking all about it 5 years ago and it disappeared after a few days though. Was an ex satellite engineer.. Oh and happy April Fools... ha ha

[@watersstanton]

Many thanks.

[@GoonyMclinux]

Randomly transmitting on 6 meter works, enough people do it things happen. 😂

[@derekthwaytes4689]

good one 🤣🤣🤣

[@jankersseboom8019]

A Nice first April joke

[@stirlingpark6145]

How many hours did you move you clock forward Peter? You might only need a few of the "big gun" stations (we know where they live) and this might work. How about the ISS operating a megawatt transmitter as it circled the Earth? They have OMs from one of the aforementioned countries aboard.

[@watersstanton]

Good idea!

[@davidlangford5383]

he he ...very good ...lol

[@G0USL]

Umm non ionising radiation will do nothing!!

[@batica81]

A.P.R.I.L. aside, HAARP is doing similar experiments, with the idea of improving propagation of ELF/VLF waves by ionospheric heating, although not too successfully I think. Do research the work of Morris Cohen if interested in details.

[@Billymeir]

That is April Fools Day

[@W4BIN]

Tomorrow!

[@watersstanton]

Yep time difference!

[@2metercrew389]

😂👍🏽😂

[@jacianmcgurk7424]

Amatuer HAARP. All the best everyone. edit..... hook, line and sinker lol

[@TheIaindavidson]

Happy March Fools Day

[@Thinks-First]

Nice April fool's joke, Peter. Well done. You wacky Brits.

[@jgorsky188]

Perhaps I should have watched all the way through before commenting but there is a bit of truth here!

[@dienadel30]

April Fools !! :)

[@adyg6ad73]

😂😂😂

[@daleneurauter2810]

🤣😂

[@ChrisWalter]

😂 🤣

[@bodstrup]

And. If it were true - some environmentalist will complain it is a threat to butterflies flying above the transmitter - no go.

[@watersstanton]

Ha ha.

[@coldwater5707]

You had me goin'....here I was thinking HAARP was coming back online.

[@hugothales4902]

Sounds horrible
