Description

A basic introduction to the sun and its effect, and how the ionosphere works. We hear a lot of terms used in our hobby, such as sunspots, CME, K index, solar flux, F layer, etc., but what do they mean, and how can we understand them. What have been the effects of CME’s that have struck the earth? These concepts are presented in an interesting format with the goal of helping us better understand their role. We will also touch on the recent eclipses and their effect. This is a non-technical aid in understanding more advanced presentations With Cycle 25 upon us, this will help in understanding its effects.
