Abstract :
A natural waveguide for electromagnetic waves may exist in the earth´s crust. Choosing an idealized model, the attenuation in such a guide is calculated under more or less optimum conditions. By choosing certain dimensionless parameters the results may have rather broad applications to problems of this type.
