How Global Warming Will Affect Short-wave Radio


1: Atmosphere heats


2: Warmer atmosphere expands


3: Upwards


4: Reflective layers in Ionosphere are pushed upwards by expanding
atmosphere


5: Higher reflective layers mean " Skip Long" for SW radio Stations..


Comments..?


If indeed the ionized layers are pushed up, it would potentially mean no
more skip for MW signals, and would likely lower the MUF for skip, resulting
in some frequencies currently usable during the day moving to nighttime use,
while current daytime frequencies could die altogether.- Hide quoted text -

FWIW - I am doing my part to Stop Global Warming
by only using 'low-heat' Solid-State Radios ~ RHF

And I use many CFL and LED Household Lights.

Plus I never Fly around the World in Private Jets
which generate excessive amounts of heat and
massive pollution in to the atmosphere like . . .
