Hi All: I've copied my paper "Diurnal frequency variation and refractive
index" from Nature Physical Sciences, Vol. 234, 51, pp. 157-158, Dec. 20,
1971. There are two TIFF files (I tried like heck to get them in one file,
and failed miserably, cannot understand my image software worth a #$%^. The
way to calculate the refractive index of moist air is given. I don't know
how to post these images to the list, so help please. There was no reason to
pursue the idea at the time, so maybe with the extensive network of the
time-nuts some sense can be made of the idea. Dunno.

The ground wave path of WWVB varies due to a very small changes in the

My own nuttiness started with that, and the innocent question "How much?
What does it take to measure it? What do I need to build?"

I am no more than 6-700 km north of DCF77, and get ~5us p-p. Now that is
quite large, when I started out that number seemed a lot smaller.
