I’m currently traveling in Oregon, and watched it on the Portland area PBS
station (Oregon Public Broadcasting). I assume it is the most current program
in the Nova series, but I missed the actual title as I didn’t tune in until
about 5 minutes after it started. Sometimes there is a slight lag between on
air viewing and their website availability, but just about every Nova program
ends up on the website for viewing online. Check the dates shown, and it
should be the one for this week. If it’s not there yet, it will be, and they
even said it would be available online. Also, most PBS stations broadcast Nova
multiple times during the week, so check your own station’s schedule for the
week. Looking at OPB’s schedule, I think the title may be “ Secrets OF The
Sun”. Here it is being aired multiple times this week.
I might just add that there are few programs on TV these days that are better
than Nova. It is marvelous! My other favorite is “Frontline”, but, of course,
there are still other superb programs that are pure entertainment, like
“Masterpiece”. If you are not a regular PBS viewer, I think you are really
missing something! My satellite TV system gives me just about anything that is
available, but in truth, I could probably survive quite nicely with just two
channels—PBS and Turner Classic Movies! Well, I do like to watch a little golf
and football! Hi.

Can you check your PBS TV station schedule and give us the title of that
NOVA program? Our station was running the RNC.

Hi All,
FWIW, there was a very interesting program I watched last night on PBS.
The
regular program called "Nova" had a most informative discussion about the
solar cycle and how it affects us here on Earth. It won't tell you
everything you want to know about propagation, etc., but it does give a
lot
of perspective as to why our communications can be so disrupted by solar
storms. They also talked a lot about "sunspots"! We tend to think the
more
the better for us, but do we really understand how they form, and the
effect
they have? This gives you some insight about that.
Anyway, you might want to check it out, and I think you can watch it
online
at www.pbs.org/nova.
