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.

The scheduled courses consist of four sections:

  1. The ionosphere, its structure and its effect on HF radio propagation.
  2. HF radio propagation via the sky wave.
  3. Disturbances in the Sun-Earth environment and the effects on HF radio propagation.
  4. IPS predictions and the IPS web site.
Participants are provided with a copy of the IPS HF Radio Propagation Course manual. Further details on course content can be obtained by contacting training@ips.gov.au
