Applied CP made simple:

So the ionosphere knows the difference between CP and linear?

I suspect the decision making abilities of the ionosphere approaches
zero. Attributing intelligence to inanimate objects is generally a
bad idea.

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

Could you please explain what's happening with CP?

Ummm.... no, I can't.
Please read my other points and see if they pass a sanity check.

Incidentally #2 should read:
"If you're sending CW (not CP) with your right hand..."
Sorry(tm).

I just hate it when someone takes me seriously.
