Quelle est la principale cause des changements cycliques dans la propagation HF?

  1. ALe cycle auroral
  2. BLe cycle solaire
  3. CLe cycle de dérive du pôle magnétique
  4. DLe cycle du courant-jet

Correct answer: B — Le cycle solaire. Question tirée de la banque officielle d'ISDE.

Why

The Sun does not shine with the same strength every year; it goes through an eleven-year rhythm where its activity rises and falls, changing how the upper atmosphere reflects high-frequency radio waves. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
