Ionoscatter
Ionoscatter is a type of propagation for radio links on ultra-short waves .
Radio signals are scattered at turbulence in the D-layer of the ionosphere . Due to the height of the D-layer, connections arise over distances of 1000 to 2000 kilometers, which is well above the normal range of VHF signals. In contrast to overreach with Sporadic-E or Meteorscatter connections, Ionoscatter is possible every day, preferably during the day on the 6-meter tape . Usually, the signals have a rapid fading on.
