1st, caveat: lots can go wrong, maybe scrubbing the first ionosphere HF modification campaign with a private heater, still under construction & testing.
2nd, while this shakedown campaign, code name #SkyWeasel, has limited objectives, #radio fans may enjoy tuning in. A 🧵 1/19:
W/ max net power ~80 kw + only about ⅓ of that available for #SkyWeasel, and the ever-present possibility of enhanced D-region HF absorption in the upward solar cycle, there may not be the power to create desired artificial field aligned irregularities (FAIs). No worries! 2/19
