DESCRIPTION:High Frequency (HF) Radio propagation is dependent on Solar Wea
 ther. Ultraviolet radiation from the sun creates and maintains the ionosph
 ere. Solar flares\, coronal mass ejections and coronal holes\, also from t
 he sun can deteriorate or disrupt HF propagation. This presentation will i
 ntroduce the positive and negative effects of solar weather on HF propagat
 ion\, and how a HF radio operator can detect and compensate for these effe
 cts and maintain HF communications.\n\nSpeaker(s): Lewis Thompson\n\nAgend
