Default Circular versus linear polarization

Applied CP made simple:

1. Circular polarization is like a drill. Instead of bouncing off
the ionosphere, it drills right through it. Therefore, little or no
skip with CP.


So the ionosphere knows the difference between CP and linear?

Interesting, since horizontal and vertical both reflect, and CP is a
combination of both.

Could you please explain what's happening with CP?

Thanks.
