Talk:Skywave

message: Do it!
(Another response): The Earth's ionosphere is a physical "object" layer of the earth's atmosphere, quite apart from skywaves, which are electromagnetic radiation trajectories.
Certainly the state of the ionosphere is critical to the propagation of skywaves, just as the opaqueness of glass is critical to the transmission of light. But skywave is an important and separate phenomenon which has played and still play a critical role in radio transmission. 
While the current "skywave" article is minimalist, a complete study of the phenomenon from many angles (scientific, technical, historical and political for starters) could easily consume a very large volume. It's a complex and fascinating technical subject. For these reasons I suggest that it be kept separate.

message: The wavelength of a signal in meters is 300,000/frequency in KHz. Thus the wavelength of a 30KHz signal is 10,000 m or 10 Km. The ionosphere is at about 100 Km, so I corrected what an earlier editor wrote changing 30Khz to 3Khz. Although I'm not certain what bearing a wavelength greater than the distance to the i-sphere has on skywave prop. Twang 20:56, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: NB. You mean kHz and km. KHz and Km are both incorrect. There is no SI prefix "K". K is for Kelvins.--Srleffler 22:29, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Correction 

message: possible correlation with lightning, which is associated with whistlers sprites et. al., which may be the result of draining iono. charge to earth's surface ... which may "light up" the  iono-surface somewhat. Might be a  thought should someone decide to go all tech on the subject later.) -- Twang 09:17, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

message: This article needs to be broken into sections, and the See also and External links lists are really long - can they be incorporated into the text somehow?--Kharker 18:44, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Cleanup

message: I'm not expert enough here to do the edits, but perhaps another amateur radio historian is--the section describes first amateur transatlantic tests as being in 1931, I believe it was December, 1921.  Also, 200 meters wasn't the shortest wavelength amateurs were permitted to use, it was the longest (hence the ARRL history book title "200 meters on down").  The great discovery of the day was that shorter wavelengths than 200  meters were useful for "skip" communication.

message: Most of the "Marconi" section is copied verbatim from this article: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/the-man-who-made-waves-9147309.html
(and it really doesn't read like an encyclopedia entry either)
I'm not a WP editor, just a reader, but I wanted to flag. Thanks.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.105.158.54 (talk) 18:30, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
