I am looking for some more detail on the theory behind the emission sources. According to current predictions, there will be approximately a 3 hour delay between a fragment collision and the reception of any signals on Earth. Is the light time to Jupiter accounted for in this prediction? I'm also monitoring the usual decametric radio emissions (with some success) prior to the event. If a storm occurs and Jupiter sets at my location - shouldn't I be able to detect the storms if they occured prior to the setting time? Are the storms localized to a specific location on the planet? Are the storms strong enough to penetrate the ionosphere with an MUF above my frequency or is this just impossible. Any help (replies, FTP sources) would be helpful. -Al toro@den.mmc.com ------------------------------ Date: 9 Jun 1994 04:19:44 -0000 From: ihnp4.ucsd.edu!dog.ee.lbl.gov!agate!howland.reston.ans.net!noc.near.net!news.delphi.com!news.delphi.com!not-for-mail@network.ucsd.edu Subject: Mir Help To: ham-space@ucsd.edu I have a friend in New Zealand and I was wondering about corresponding through Mir. Is it like any other PBBS or does it have any special command sets. How long is an ordinary pass? Also, does anybody know of any good Macintosh tracking programs? I am in the process of ordering a AR-2 2M vertical, is this good for Mir? I have worked RS-10/11 and RS-12/13 And was figuring why stop there? TNX in advance. DE N0UJT A.K.A.
