G3B06
What usually happens to radio waves with frequencies below the LUF?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: C. They are attenuated before reaching the destination
Below the LUF, signals are absorbed by the ionosphere, mainly the D region, before they reach the destination. They are too weak to be useful.
Tip: Below LUF, absorbed.
