The "grey
line" is a band around the Earth that separates
daylight from darkness. Propagation along the
grey line is very efficient. One major reason
for this is that the D layer, which absorbs HF
signals, disappears rapidly on the sunset side
of the grey line, and it has not yet built upon
the sunrise side. Ham radio operators and
shortwave listeners can optimize long distance
communications to various areas of the world by
monitoring this band as it moves around the
globe.
