Radio propagation that rely on reflection (actually refraction) of radio waves from the ionosphere. The ionosphere is a region of the atmosphere from about that contains layers of charged particles (ions) which can refract a radio wave back toward the Earth. A radio wave directed at an angle into the sky can be reflected back to Earth beyond the horizon by these layers, allowing long distance radio transmission. The F2 layer is the most important ionospheric layer for long-distance, multiple-hop HF propagation, though F1, E, and D-layers also play significant roles. The D-layer, when present during sunlight periods, causes significant amount of
Radio Waves (song) experiments with the phone and is able to access computers and speech synthesizers, he learns to speak through them. He calls a radio station in L.A. named Radio KAOS, a completely fictitious radio station based in Los Angeles and tells them of his abilities and his life story throughout the album. Radio Waves (song) "Radio Waves" is the opening track from Roger Waters' second solo studio album, "Radio K.A.O.S." It was chosen as the lead single for the album, released worldwide in May 1987. "Radio Waves" introduces the main character, Billy, a disabled man who finds a way to talk
