Question

Which mode of propagation is used by short broadband service?

Answer 1

Skywave propagation is utilized by shortwave communicated administrations having a recurrence extend from a couple of MHz up to 30 MHz. Skywave can travel long separations and can even go around the earth. 
Refractive record of the ionosphere (x) is not as much as that of the layers of environment underneath it (x0). As we go high, the electron thickness diminishes, x' diminishes. The refraction happens till it achieves basic edge and a short time later it thinks about electromagnetic wave back earth's surface.
