Abstract
Lejay and Lepechinsky1 recently published a note on field intensity as a function of distance, a question which is of great interest for ionospheric prediction work. With their method of the reflectrix they find two focusing effects, one at a distance corresponding to a path that leaves the earth tangentially, the other at the limit of the skip distance.
