The vertical distribution of the field radiated by a microwave transmitter in the proximity of a smooth earth is obtained by direct application of Huygens' principle. For points at either side of the horizon and on the horizon itself this new approach offers uniform results which are free from the interpolations which characterize the methods currently used.
