Radio Auroras By Charlie Newton, G2FKZ During the late 1940s, Scottish and Scandinavian radio amateurs noticed the strange 'hissing steam' CW signals emanating from the north during the 'northern lights'. As powerful FM broadcasting was introduced in the 1950s it was found that long-distance (DX) reception of these stations was possible via the aurora. Soon radio amateurs were using auroras for two-way contacts, to the astonishment of the professionals engaged in atmospheric research, and later on were able to make a significant scientific contribution to our understanding of this fascinating phenomenon. This book tells that story, and goes on to give a readable account of how auroras are caused, how they can be forecast, and how best to use them to work DX. The book is a very good read and source of information on auroras and is in good condition. Postage in the UK is £1.50 and £5 for Europe and the U.S.A I am selling another book Pactical wire antennas by John Heys, G3BDQ and would reduce the postage charge for both books. Please email me if you would like both books. Postage would be for both books in the UK £2.50 and the rest of the world is £7 (please look at our rules and privacy policy) |
