Where is transequatorial propagation (TEP) most likely to occur?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: A. Between points separated by 2,000 miles to 3,000 miles over a path perpendicular to the geomagnetic equator
Transequatorial propagation typically links stations 2,000 to 3,000 miles apart on a path crossing the geomagnetic equator at a right angle, roughly north-south.
Tip: TEP crosses the magnetic equator, 2,000 to 3,000 miles.
