What is the approximate maximum distance along the Earth's surface normally covered in one hop using the E region?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: B. 1,200 miles
The E region is lower than the F2 region, so a single hop covers less ground, about 1,200 miles. The F2 region reaches about 2,500 miles.
Tip: E hop: about 1,200 miles.
