The problem of the propagation of radio waves over territories consisting of mixed land and sea areas has to a great extent been treated by the compensation theorem. However, these investigations have been analytical and, therefore, limited to rather simple configurations. This paper investigates whether the compensation theorem could be used in a more direct numerical approach, whereby it becomes possible to treat arbitrary mixed‐path propagation problems. The method is checked by comparison with a simple problem for which an analytical solution is known.
