About Propagation Pages

The following pages, that are grouped together below, refer to propagation

The Radio Society of Great Britain
Radio Propagation Studies Committee

The Propagation Studies Committee stemmed from a suggestion made in 1957 by Dr Smith-Rose, then Director of the Radio research Station, Slough, and later to become a President of the RSGB, that a small committee should be formed to attempt to correlate radio amateur observations with 'auroral, ionospheric or meteorological conditions'.

Help File For Solar-Terrestrial Data

A brief report on propagation infomation

Australian Government IPS Radio and Space Services

These pages provide general propagation advice for HF communicators. Information available includes inferred global propagation conditions, real time HF fadeout coverage charts, regional ionospheric vertical MUF maps and Hourly Area Prediction charts. SEE HF_Systems in menu.

Space Weather

Space weather is the current jargon for solar activity and its influence on the earth. One web site is the Space Weather Prediction Center of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration:

http://www.swpc.noaa.gov

The NZART website also has the NOAA solar-terrestrial data, updated every three hours.

See: http://www.nzart.org.nz/info/about-propagation-pages/hf-solar-t-data/

There is a WWV website at:

Learning About Propagation

There are also numerous links to web sites in this list, and to many others related to propagation. Two ionospheric organisations who are responsible for collecting ionospheric observations also have very good education sections on propagation. They are:
