A monitoring network for anomalous propagation of aeronautical VHF radio waves due to sporadic E in Japan

Abstract We introduce a network observation of anomalous long-distance propagation of aeronautical navigation (NAV) very high-frequency (VHF) radio waves due to sporadic E layer (Es). The system has been operative since May 2019 at 6 stations in Japan. The receiver consists of a log-periodic antenna...
