Title: NEWS...Hams and solar flares Post by: wa2tak on June 22, 2023, 03:27:04 PM Around the world, ham radio operators are experimenting with a new way to detect solar flares--the Doppler Shift method. Brian Curtis of Sault Ste Marie, Michigan, demonstrated the technique on June 20th when the sun produced a powerful X1.1-class solar flare...SEE THIS ON SPACE WEATHER .COM

Why would someone monitor WWV, CHU, Radio Bear, etc. 24 /7 to detect a possible Doppler shift and then try to determine if a solar flare causing it or some other ionospheric anomaly or disturbance. Give those kids something scientific to do. Can we turn a profit if we can find some monetary value to this "scientific investigation" of radio wave Doppler shift? How will any of this increase my 6 meter DX count ???

Quote Can we turn a profit if we can find some monetary value to this "scientific investigation" of radio wave Doppler shift? Sure you can! You just do a 'dog and pony show' to some government representative and they will as my mother would say, "fall ass over tin-cups" to give you millions of dollars. Just like a shrimp on a treadmill!https://www.realclearpolicy.com/articles/2021/03/26/13_million_paid_to_put_running_shrimp_on_treadmills_769049.html (https://www.realclearpolicy.com/articles/2021/03/26/13_million_paid_to_put_running_shrimp_on_treadmills_769049.html) |
