The following lines were added (+) and removed (-):
Medium wave signals use ground propagation only during the day.  The D region will absorb any signals it meets.  At night the D region becomes invisible and the waves pass though to the E region.  The E region reflects the signal back to the ground.  Higher frequencies are not reflected by the E region.  As frequency goes up, reflection goes down.  E region reflection tends to make for shorter hops, meaning shorter distance DX.When frequency is high enough it penetrates the E region it then may be reflected back by the F1 region, the first part of the F region of the ionosphere.
