Back in the 1980's I used to listen to NFL games on the U.S. Armed forces network with my radio in the U.K. I'd get the early game in, but at around 21:15 the signal would get weaker and weaker until all you could hear was static. I never knew why. . . Now I know! Thanks!!

Is it possible to set the PC time using the IC-705's GPS in this configuration? I can use a GPS dongle but would like to use the 705. Thanks!

8:15 with regards to the meteorite debris clustering in the upper atmosphere, something like the aurora, our magnetic field concentrates Solar material in the exosphere, who not a similar phenomena with tiny fragments of iron caught up in the upper level winds and heat energy from the surface to act like a reflective cloud held up over a region? I have to imagine it was am exciting time to be a ham in the 50's and 60s when the military was releasing materials in the sky to see what the effects were.

8:00 that would explain why we have this in the summer over the Plains to Atlantic states in spring and summer, with occasional instances over winter where warm gulf air intrudes north.

Great work on this subject.

Great work sir! .... best for G land de M0VFX

Incredible video production, footage is on par with BBC nature documents. Content was also very helpful, I was able to get GPS sync to work with my PC.

Radiogenic Chemistry is a game changer.

Impressive and educational! From a lil ole GROL. You have a new "student" sir. 😊

Saved to favorites. 73!

Good video and explanation

A very well produced video. Quite slick. Well done. 73, Stuart VK3SKS.

The voice over work gives me the Beyond 2000 Simon Reeve vibe. Smashing job mate.

FYI Appleton knew the "E" layer as the Heaviside-Kennelly layer, predicted many years before. His experiments in radio wave reflection detected three layers, which he identified as D, E and F in order to allow for the possibility that there might one day be layers detected lower than the D layer. No such layers have been found.

Very professional explanation. I enjoyed it. VK2LO.

Another fantastic video!

👍👍 great explanation and production. 73 KC8WVG

Very good, Andrew!! Great work 🙂

Great work- educational. Can be useful when preparing for amateur radio tests.

Great stuff

Very Nice video! 73 de YO8SSB

Nice vid Bloke. Ive been an inactive F call for 13 years. This may give me the kick up the backside to upgrade at least to standard. Minikits seems to make some good gear . I have my sights on an ic705 soon. Then the upgrade will happen . Just need to find a local test location. Brendan VK2QRM

A MAD is a great excuse to regularly (monthly) get your uWave gear out for an arvo play, instead of just the three weekends of the year. Use it or lose it!

Another great presentation out of the 3FS stable! here in VK4 we do actually produce an annual calendar of all the MAD events , curtesy of Scott VK4CZ, which interlace the dates with the FD’s and other significant radio events. We think a bit of prior planning improves the turn-out rate on MADs VK4UH

Very good video Andrew! Beautiful camera work and scenery.

Very Nice! 73 de YO8SSB

This is bang on!!! Well done Andrew!!!! 🙂

Quite MAD really 😉

I love your videos They are always exciting and educational

23 2.4 5 ready to go from Latrobe Valley, Confirmed can work all bands to Melbourne

Very good Andrew... I suspect you're harboring a secret... that you've bought an IC-905... 🙂

I have a ICOM ID52A, Going to get a IC 905, Waiting for the Third Batch of Units to come out,

Great video, thanks!

I think we need more satellites which allow microwaves. Here in Poland I have access to QO100 -2.4GHz uplink, 10GHz downlink. I've build complete staff by mysleve and I'm really happy of that. I get also Khune 10GHz transverter but hard to find other crazy ppl around me to do 3cm band QSO... Again, satellites will bring more microwave users...

Now tell the science denying flat earthers

Be careful. I downloaded the 3 programs, installed them, and rebooted as directed. Windows crashed and tried to recover (blue screen of death) 4 times, then finally started correctly. Maybe restart after installing each program?

Excellent explanation! Knew what it was but could never have explained it this simply to my mates. Many thanks.

I still don't even have my F call yet, but mate you've got me keen as mustard! Great video, cheers from QF32

very informative, Thanks

Thanks for the review, Andrew. Perfect length and a great rundown of the day's activities. I've shared to Hamfests Australasia Group. Mark VK3PDG

What a well produced video and well aimed at someone who is comfy on HF but had little idea about microwave

Nice presentation.

Excellent video!👍

73 de YO8SSB!

great hamfest and great video, wish i was there, TNX & 73 OE4WOG
