Space Weather

Last updated:Aug 5, 1997

The conditions that make for exciting amateur radio are due to interactions of many phenomena, both intrinsic and extraneous to the planet. This page contains links to information concerning solar activity and it's affect on radio wave propagation. The conditions and activity levels of solar activity, the planet's geomagnetic field, and auroral activity is known as "Space Weather."
