Is the little ball on top of my antenna the ionsphere?

I put the ball to a metal grinder and I could easily see an outer F layer and then the E layer. I couldn't find a D layer, but it was dark outside and there's not supposed to be a D layer at night. Neat how antenna's can be manufactured to do that. Just passed my tech and General on Sunday so I'll be on the bands as soon as I find out my callsign and get an ionsphere for my antenna. I destroyed the old one on the grinder and I hear you need a good ionsphere to shoot good skip and hear far away stations. So how'd you do on the CW portion of the test? sc |
