Abstract :
A computer program developed and used by the Department of Transport to determine nighttime sky wave signal interference to ground wave service is described. The formulas and sequences used by the program are discussed. A sample calculation of the program is given. The advantages of such a program, to the broadcast design engineer, are accuracy, reliability, speed and convenience.
