On Thursday 20th April Ken G3LVP will explain the vagaries of radio propagation in a talk entitled “The Next Solar Cycle?”. His explanations will cover such terms as Maximum Useable Frequency (MUF) and Critical Frequency, as well as how signals are refracted by the various ionospheric layers depending on the time of the day, the seasons and the state of the nominal 11-year sun-spot cycle. If time permits he may also mention propagations modes such as Sporadic E (Es). We look forward to an interesting meeting.
