Quelle couche ionosphérique affecte plus particulièrement les communications faites par ondes de ciel sur la bande de 6 mètres?

  1. ALa couche
  2. BLa couche E
  3. CLa couche F2
  4. DLa couche F1

Correct answer: B — La couche E. Question tirée de la banque officielle d'ISDE.

Why

The E region, a layer of the ionosphere located about 100 kilometres up, is the primary reflector for 6-metre band signals during sporadic E events, which are sudden bursts of ionization that allow these waves to bounce back to Earth over long distances. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.

Radio wave propagation is section B-007 of the Basic exam: How signals travel: the ionosphere and its layers, skip, ground wave, sporadic E, and which bands work when.
