What is the effect of chordal-hop propagation?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: A. The signal experiences less loss compared to multi-hop propagation, which uses Earth as a reflector
Chordal-hop signals bounce between ionospheric regions without touching the ground between hops. Skipping the lossy ground reflections means less loss than normal multi-hop propagation.
Tip: No ground bounce, less loss.
