To increase the value of IPS services to our customers, IPS Radio and Space
Services offers one day courses on HF radio propagation. Courses can be
tailored to suit the audience by emphasising topics of special interest.
Participants receive the IPS HF Radio Propagation Course manual.
The scheduled courses consist of four sections:
- The ionosphere, its structure and its effect on HF radio propagation.
- HF radio propagation via the sky wave.
- Disturbances in the Sun-Earth environment and the effects on HF radio propagation.
- The IPS web site and predictions.
Further details on course content can be obtained by emailing
training@ips.gov.au
The approximate schedule for courses is listed below. Scheduled courses may be
held in months other than those advertised. Actual dates for courses are
listed once venues are confirmed, usually about four weeks in advance of a
course. At that time, registration forms are then available from this page.
