Video: VHF Propagation and Weather - Jim Bacon, G3YLA (RSGB Convention 2020)

Following on from “Why Radio and Weather Go Together…” shown last month, this talk by Jim Bacon describes the processes behind compiling the GB2RS propagation bulletin. This takes in aspects of weather forecasting, tropospheric propagation and links to high pressure systems, rain scatter propagation and how to identify suitable candidates from forecast charts, and lastly sporadic E and its relationship to weather. This includes a quick précis of the basics of its formation, but also some pathways for its prediction and recent insights gained from events in the 2020 season.
