To investigate the influence of the earth's magnetic field on ionospheric propagation, P '( f ) curves were calculated by means of a ray‐tracing program. The calculations were made for a path length of 2000 km. The geomagnetic latitude of the midpoint of the path and the angle between the magnetic meridian and the path are varied in steps of 15°. Corrections to the no‐field MUF, as functions of the above parameters, are obtained.
