Abstract
The continuous records of the field strength received over a 60-kilometer path on a frequency of 150 megacycles for the year 1936 are analyzed. Preliminary comparison with other paths of the same length indicate that the magnitude of the recorded variations of the signals may be typical of paths of this length. A reduction in the path length by a factor of two reduced the fading range in decibels by a factor of five. The results are found to be in agreement with an earlier formula. Fading reduced the field 7 decibels below the average value 1 per cent of the time.
