Long path
Comparison of long path and short path. Long path (in the jargon of a shortwave means "longer route" in degrees) - it is the direct reception of the strongest signal between two correspondents in the longitude (around the Earth). To find a "longer route" to other correspondents who are in the direction of less than 180 °, add 180 ° to this direction, and correspondents who are in a direction greater than 180 ° must subtract 180 ° from that direction. p> Example: The term "long path" is a short path - the smallest distance between two correspondents.
