	abstract = {<p>Most ray tracers treat the problem as a Hamiltonian optics problem given an index of refraction, i.e., the ionosphere in this case.\&nbsp; However, Coleman 2011 developed a method for ray tracing that used a direct variation method.\&nbsp; The advantage of this method is that the endpoints of the ray remained fixed, while in more standard ray tracer, rays are launched until a link is made between the transmitter and receiver.\&nbsp; Development of this method may provide a potentially efficient method for determining the link between a transmitter receiver pair, given a model ionosphere.\&nbsp; We present efforts toward implementing the methodology described by Coleman 2011.</p>
