A laboratory model suitable for use in the investigation of transhorizon radio wave propagation phenomena to described. The model allows a scale factor of 1.16 × 10 +6 to relate observations on the model to observations on a dielectric sphere the size of the earth. Measurements to show that the fields over the model agree with the classical “airless earth” solution are presented.
