Abstract
EXPERIMENTS on the propagation of high-frequency radio waves have recently been made by Warren and Hagg1, who have published a photographic record showing the relation between the wave frequency and the time of propagation over the 5,300-km. path between Slough and Ottawa. From this record the authors conclude that, in spite of the great distance, the ‘high-angle’ (Pedersen) rays were propagated by a single hop having a reflexion point midway between the terminal points.
