HF transmissions (sky waves) are greatly effected by the earth's atmosphere, if the atmosphere were static HF communications would be easy, unfortunately the atmosphere varies with altitude, location, time of day, season and year. To understand radio wave propagation you must first understand layers and properties of the earth's atmosphere.
The troposphere extends from the earth's surface to the height of approximately 10km. Within the troposphere, the bending of radio waves by refraction (tropospheric r
