Understanding the Ionosphere and its War Time Uses
A detailed overview explains the ionosphere as Earth's upper atmosphere from about 50 to over 200 miles, its reflection of radio waves, and the use of low frequency transmitters and specialized laboratories to forecast radio propagation up to 90 days ahead. It describes Helliwell's experiments with a diamond aerial, reflections, and the aim of improving long distance shortwave broadcasts for defense and communications reliability.
