...idea behind this radar is not new; shortwave radio signals have long been bounced off the ionosphere. But developing reliable over-the-horizon radar proved tricky because the composition of the ionosphere is always in flux, making it more like a mass of moving clouds than a smooth reflecting mirror. The OTH radar overcomes this problem by using computer power: the software enables technicians to chart constantly the intensity and thickness of the ionosphere, telling operators where conditions are best and which radio frequencies to use for maximum performance...
