Abstract

MR. F. HORNER has considered the ringing of the tuned circuits of the two amplifiers connected to the ‘crossed’-pair of loop-aerials of the cathode-ray tube direction-finder, when the atmospherics are received, and has attempted to explain our direction-finding records1 which showed elliptical patterns of gradually decreasing eccentricity, tilt-angle and size along with one or more straight-line responses, as due to the combined effect of a ground-wave and the echo received after only one ionospheric reflexion.
