G3C08 : Why are HF scatter signals in the skip zone usually weak?
A
Only a small part of the signal energy is scattered into the skip zone
B
Signals are scattered from the magnetosphere, which is not a good reflector
C
Propagation is via ground waves, which absorb most of the signal energy
D
Propagation is via ducts in the F region, which absorb most of the energy
Correct Answer: Only a small part of the signal energy is scattered into the skip zone
