    Hiss (electromagnetic)

    Electromagnetic hiss is a naturally occurring Extremely Low Frequency/Very Low Frequency electromagnetic wave (i.e., 300 Hz – 10 kHz) that is generated in the plasma of either the Earth's ionosphere or magnetosphere. Its name is derived from its incoherent, structureless spectral properties which, when played through an audio system, sound like white noise (hence the onomatopoetic name, "hiss").

    Varieties

    Hiss may be observed in any of several varieties depending on local time and L-shell of the observer:

  • Plasmaspheric hiss is generally observed within the plasmasphere, peaking in frequency slightly below ~1 kHz and rarely exceeding 3 kHz.
  • Exo-hiss and ELF hiss are two varieties of hiss observed outside of the plasmasphere, both having a spectrum similar to that of plasmaspheric hiss.
  • Midlatitude hiss is generally observed outside of the plasmasphere and tends to have frequencies between 2 and 10 kHz.
  • Auroral hiss is observed in the auroral zones of the Earth and can extend up to several hundred kHz.

    Country Heroes

    by: Hank Williams, Jr.

    Well, oh what a feeling
    that burns down low
    when you ain't got no where to turn,
    or no where to go
    It makes me feel like sometimes
    I'm outta control
    So I'm gonna get wasted
    with all my country heroes
    I'm drinkin' some George Jones,
    and a little bit of Coe
    Haggard's easin' my misery
    and Waylon's keepin' me from home
    Hank's givin' me those high times -
    Cash is gonna sing it low
    I'm here gettin' wasted -
    here with my country heroes
    I'm drinkin' that whiskey
    out of that glass
    and if that ain't country,
    boy, you can kiss my ass
    I wanna hear them old songs -
    nothin' of the new
    'cause this might be the last time
    I'm gonna see you
    So I'm drinkin' some George Jones,
    and a little bit of Coe
    Haggard's easin' my misery
    and Waylon's keepin' me from home
    Hanks givin' me those high times -
    Cash is gonna sing it low
    and I'm here gettin' wasted -
    just like my country heroes
    I'm here gettin' wasted -
    with all my country heroes
