8.3 At a distance of 1 km from a 1 MHz radio transmitter the daytime field strength is 200 mV/m. Calculate the field strength 110 km from the transmitter if the ground-wave attenuation is 9 dB greater than the free-space loss. Also calculate the field strength at the same point during the night when there is also a sky wave received. Assume the sky wave to be reflected from a height of 120 km and that the earth is flat.

The answers according to the books are 0.23 mV/m , 0.53 to 0.99 mV/m
8.3 At a distance of 1 km from a 1 MHz radio transmitter
the daytime field strength is 200 mV/m. Calculate the field
strength 110 km from the transmitter if the ground-wave
attenuation is 9 dB greater than the free-space loss. Also
calculate the field strength at the same point during the night
when there is also a sky wave received. Assume the sky wave
to be reflected from a height of 120 km and that the earth
is flat.
