🔍 Key Concepts

• Skywave propagation relies on the ionosphere to bend radio waves back to Earth • The usual marine long-range communication band is the HF (High Frequency) band • Know the approximate frequency ranges of MF, HF, and VHF bands

💭 Think About

• Which radio frequency band is most commonly associated with long-distance (beyond line-of-sight) communication by bouncing signals off the ionosphere? • Look at each option and decide which one corresponds to HF, MF, and VHF ranges you may have memorized. • Eliminate any ranges that are primarily used for local, line-of-sight communication rather than ionospheric reflection.

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm which option matches the standard HF band (in MHz) used for long-range marine and aeronautical communication. • Verify that you are not confusing MF (Medium Frequency) with HF; MF is typically expressed in kHz, not MHz for these ranges. • Check that the range you choose can, in general, support global or intercontinental communication via the ionosphere.
