No, the ionosphere does weird things, including self-lensing at high enough power densities (frequency dependent too), so there's probably a bit more to test

- coenhyde 4y agoThanks, I wasn't aware of that.
- zo1 4y agoWhere would one learn about that?
- chris_va 4y agoA bit old, but fun read: https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/19810019084/downloads/19810019084.pdf https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/19810019084/downloads/19... ... there are newer sources, but I'd have to dig through notes, nothing very concrete.
