Winter can be one of the best times of year to get on the air if you know what to listen for.
In this video, David M0TPT takes you through how HF, VHF and UHF propagation changes during the winter months, with practical advice aimed especially at newer amateurs. We cover what happens in the ionosphere, why the D-layer and grey line matter, and how this affects everything from NVIS and inter-G contacts to DX.
You’ll also see a band-by-band walkthrough, looking at what to expect on 10m, 15m, 17m, 20m, 40m, 80m, Top Band and 5 MHz during winter operation, along with antenna tips that work well when space is limited.
Whether you’re operating from the shack, experimenting with low antennas, or just wondering why the bands sound different at this time of year, this video should help you get more enjoyment from winter operating.
