[LCC] PVRC January Webinar Schedule

[Scott Dickson]

The Potomac Valley Radio Club (PVRC) is pleased to announce two exciting 

Webinars for January. The first event is scheduled for January 14 at 8 PM 

EST (January 15 - 01:00 UTC). Well known contester and the man behind 

Contest University Tim Duffy, K3LR, will present a look at Contest 

University (CTU) 2010, including the course line up and list of professors. 

Tim will review the past 3 years and tell you what makes CTU 2010 the best 

yet. You will find out what previous students have had to say about CTU and 

why you should attend this year. To register (free) for this presentation go

The second event, scheduled for January 20 at 10 PM EST (January 21 - 03:00 

UTC) features noted propagation guru Carl Luetzelschwab K9LA. Carl will take


a look at 160 Meter propagation. Cary Oler and Dr. Theodore J. Cohen N4XX 

wrote a seminal two-part article on 160m propagation that was published in 

the March and April 1998 issues of CQ. Their article was very aptly named 

"The 160 Meter Band - An Enigma Shrouded in a Mystery". They discussed the 

problems in trying to understand what makes 160 meters tick. Carl 

Luetzelschwab K9LA expanded on the Oler and Cohen article in the December 

2005 issue of CQ, looking deeper at ducting and spotlight propagation on 

160m.

 

This seminar will use these articles as a basis to review basic ionospheric 

physics on 1.8 MHz, review normal propagation on 160m, review interesting 

observations with 160m propagation, and review our efforts to try to predict


160m propagation. Regardless of our efforts, 160m remains a mystery - so 

there still is work to be done to understand topband. To register (free) for
