Some calculated results are given for influence of a knife‐edge obstacle on radio propagation over a curved surface. A special case, of a previous formulation, is employed for the calculations. It is shown that the effect of the obstacle is strongly dependent on the location relative to the path terminals. This note is an addendum to the paper “Diffraction and scattering of the electromagnetic ground wave by terrain features”, Radio Sci. 3 (New Series), No. 10, 1968.
