It is known from numerical calculations that the high-angle ray field has a strong divergence in the background ionosphere, but experimental data show the reception of high-angle rays at long distances. In this paper, the problem of calculating the average intensity of the high-angle ray field is considered. The Huygens-Kirchhoff method used for this purpose shows the increase of the average intensity for a random inhomogeneous ionosphere as compared with high-angle ray intensity in the background ionosphere for a long propagation path. The obtained results permit us to explain the difference between the experimental data and theoretical results which do not take random ionospheric inhomogeneities into account.
