ground wave

tropospheric wave

ionospheric wave

inverted wave



B-007-01-07: At HF frequencies, line-of-sight transmission between two stations uses mainly the:

ground wave

troposphere

ionosphere



B-007-01-08: The distance travelled by ground waves:

is less at higher frequencies

depends on the maximum usable frequency
