Abstract
The author discusses the advantages and drawbacks of skywaves and why they are avoided by domestic medium-wave broadcaster. He reports some results of a computer investigation of problems encountered with medium-wave antennas coupled to a skywave propagation medium. Experimental results are given showing skywave patterns for broadcasts from Alaska, one using a horizontal and the other a vertical antenna. It is concluded for these two examples that remarkable medium-wave coverage could be obtained using available frequencies
