Radio wave propagation is one of the more important discoveries made in the early 20th century. Although technology lagged behind, early experimenters pursued this newly discovered phenomenon eagerly for, in understanding the physics of propagation they were discovering more about our Universe and its workings. The worlds around us have always been fascinating and here was a means of spanning not only our own Earth, but of reaching out to other interstellar bodies. Radio wave propagation has its origins in the world of solar physics. The Sun's radiation provides the mechanism for the formation of the ionosphere. How the ionosphere is formed, and how it provides long-distance communication is carefully explained. Non-ionospheric propagation, including "moonbounce" of satellite communications, is covered as well. This book has been written with the average electronic hobbyist in mind. technical language and mathematics have been kept to a minimum in order to present a broad, yet clear picture of the subject. The radio amateur, as well as the short-wave listener, will find explanations of the propagation phenomena which both experience in the pursuit of communications enjoyment.
