The signal source for which power is measured should typically be a VLF signal from a distant transmitter with near constant day-time power output,
such as the VLF transmitters that are used by navies to communicate with submarines
(E.g. [GQD](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthorn_Radio_Station) / [HWU](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HWU_transmitter) / [NAA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VLF_Transmitter_Cutler)).

This can be measured within SDRangel using the [Channel Power](../../channelrx/channelpower/readme.md) plugin.
When a solar flare occurs, EUV (Extreme Ultraviolet) and X-ray radiation is emitted from the Sun. When the radiation reaches the Earth's atmosphere (after ~8 minutes),
it can increase the ionization of the D and E regions in the ionosphere, enhancing VLF propagation. Gamma-rays from powerful GRBs can also have a similar effect on the ionosphere.

The SID chart can plot multiple series, allowing different signals from different transmitters to be monitored.
This can be useful as SIDs can be localized to specific regions in the atmosphere, thus not all signals may be affected.

@ -228,7 +228,7 @@ In order to check that a peak in the spectrum is a real VLF signal, you can:
* If using a magnetic loop or other directional antenna, rotate it and make sure the amplitude varies, as mag loops should have a null orthogonal to the plane of the loop.
* Check that the signal has diurnal variation (it should vary with the time of day, due to the changes in the ionosphere).
* Check with online lists of VLF signals (E.g. https://sidstation.loudet.org/stations-list-en.xhtml or https://www.mwlist.org/vlf.php). A number of these are plotted on the Map feature.
