Otherwise, we would have simply escorted the ship to skip distance to return to Phoenix.

Skip distance is a term associated with signals through the ionosphere.

But our maneuvering engines aren't going to get us to skip distance anytime soon.

Send a drone to your fleet, which I know is at skip distance and ready to arrive.

As the elevation angle increases the range decreases until the skip distance is reached.

Skip distance is greatest during the night when the ionosphere is the highest.

You have safe passage from Roanoke to skip distance, back to your own territory, but you must leave now.

A decrease in the height of the ionosphere will cause the skip distance to:

Our people reconsidered skip distances, frequency variations and probable reception zones.

A skip distance is the distance a radio wave travels, usually including a hop in the ionosphere.

It helps that Chinatown is within skipping distance of their loft near City Hall.

High solar flux also means longer skip distances (your signals will hit the earth farther away than usual) and multi-hops are not uncommon.

The bike routes continue to Southeast Clinton Street, where we find two lovely vintage shops within skipping distance of each other.

Skip distances.

Over fifty terms associated with the Crucifixion are clustered together at minimal skip distances in the short twelve-verse chapter of Isaiah 53.

If the height of the reflecting layer of the ionosphere increases, the skip distance of a high frequency transmission:

The Kite launched a sixth and final missile toward the drone, which would be overtaken and destroyed less than ten thousand klicks from Skip distance.

A skip distance is a distance on the Earth's surface between the two points where radio waves from a transmitter, refracted downwards by different layers of the ionosphere, fall.

My lunchtime stop at the weekend was Suka in the Sanderson Hotel, which is in skipping distance of London's Oxford Street but discreet enough not to be packed out.

A small flash issued forth from the Rraey ship: The doomed cruiser was launching a Skip drone, designed to quickly get to Skip distance and let the rest of the Rraey military know what happened to it.

The Magellan's recreation deck was arrayed like a small park, and was packed with colonists and their families, sampling the diversions the Magellan would offer them on our week-long journey to skip distance, thence to Roanoke.

UHF TV signals are not carried along the ionosphere but can be reflected off of the charged particles down at another point on Earth in order to reach farther than the typical line-of-sight transmission distances; this is the skip distance.

To see how it has adapted, I thought I’d compare our flagship chocolate brand – the largest independent confectionery company in Britain – with France’s equivalent, La Maison du Chocolat, which conveniently have shops within skipping distance of each other.

Each of the cottages we’ve high-lighted has an open fire or a fuel-burning stove, they’re all within skipping distance of the local, and they’ve all got suitably winterish activities on their doorsteps, be that great blustery coastal hikes, wildlife or all-weathers day-trip excursions.

This bending happens because each layer of the ionosphere has a refractive index that varies from that of the others.Because of the differing heights of refraction, or apparent reflection, the radio waves hit the earth surface at different points hence generating the skip distance.
