This presentation should be incorporated into the initial training of anyone wishing to get their ham license. I found the information to be concise, articulated well, sufficiently illustrated, and no needless fluff. Anyone actively interested in the topic will be well served with this introduction into the concepts discussed. Thank you for uploading this video; I only wished that I had seen it much sooner!

Does the day vs. night rule apply to the time of day for the location of the receive / transmit antennas or the location of the person you're trying to communicate with? Meaning if my antenna is in Hawaii and it's morning, but I'm trying to communicate with someone in Guam, would I use a frequency based on the time in Guam or the time in Hawaii?

One of my students pointed out that the statement at 10:43 says that when the RF passes through the ionosphere and into space, that is the critical frequency. However, all the textbooks I have say the critical frequency is the highest frequency that is reflected (refracted) back to ground. Is there another definition in use?
@pauldenisowski3 жыл бұрын
That's a great question. I suppose you could avoid ambiguity by defining it as the frequency above which signals pass into space and below which signals are refracted back (laughs).
@tixilx3 жыл бұрын
Critical frequency is the highest magnitude of frequency above which the waves penetrate the ionosphere and below which the waves are reflected back from the ionosphere. It is denoted by "fc". Its value is not fixed and it depends upon the electron density of the ionosphere.

In maximum condition, how must the most longer distance range for communication in HF frequency?
@pauldenisowski4 жыл бұрын
HF can be (and regularly is) used to communicate between any two points on the globe, so maximum range is half the Earth's circumference :) In practice, the maximum achievable distance is function of many factors, including the current state of the ionosphere, the chosen frequency, the Tx and RX antenna characteristics and orientation, the Tx power, the Rx sensitivity, noise levels, modulation type, etc. During peaks in the 11 year solar cycle, worldwide communication can often be accomplished with less than a watt of power and a very modest antenna, whereas at the "troughs," it can be very challenging to reach certain stations without very high power levels and very good antennas.
@WW5RM3 жыл бұрын
@@pauldenisowski slightly more than half as the RF horizon is more than visual horizon. Radio waves bend. Plus multi hop and long path happen daily. Many factors can give more range than just half. WW5RM

@@WW5RM Yes, of course. :) Long-path is an excellent example of where the total path length will be longer than the "short part" to the destination: There are many occasions where or reasons why long-path may be the best way to reach a given station. And as you also point out, the actual path length will depends on the number of hops, etc. I interpreted the question to be: "what is the max possible distance between transmitter and receiver when using HF?" and since HF does allow (under the right conditions) communications between any two points on the globe, my somewhat tongue-in-cheek answer was "half the Earth's circumference" :) Thanks for pointing out that the actual max propagation distance can be considerably longer. 73!

the picture depicts lines of electromagnetic force but they tend to make our mins believe the signals are shot out like bullets,but its really a giant omni directionals disruption of molecules from the antenna envoping in an omni directional patteren like a bomb going off,the molecule stays put but transfers the vibration to the nieghboring molecule like dominoes,f going deep into the ground and reflecting back upwards or refracting from the ground becuase of the different meduim opposedt to the atmosphere then reaching up into the inonsphere where it then refracts back to earth where it could end up anywhere there is a least resistant path to do so ,i think anyway ,every time we hit the key we ignite a giant vibration of the molecules like a pattern of an explosion ,with everything staying put
