The D layer is the lowest layer near the Earth.

Is there any FREQ that come back down from it or is it just the other Layers that reflect the Radio Waves back down??
 

It seems the D-layer absorbs radio signal. Here is a quote I found about the D-layer-

The D-Layer of the ionosphere plays an interesting role. While there are no radio signals reflected off this layer it does absorb AM radio signals...

At night, the D-Layer disappears and the transmitted signal can then bounce off the ionosphere and return back to the earth.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes

    Wes, it's better if you start a thread on the main forum, more people are going to see your question.
