The upper atmosphere of the Earth contains layers of electrically charged or ionized gasses. These ionized layers are caused by Tilt Bail - A fold-down wire bail is provided to tilt the R30A to a the action of light and energy from the Sun on the atmosphere. - Page 14 At frequencies above 30 MHz (which are higher than those re- radiate a one hertz wave, the front edge of it would have traveled ceived by the Palstar R30), we run into the range of Very High 300 million meters by the time the rear edge of the wave leaves Frequency (VHF) and Ultra High Frequency (UHF) and beyond.
