I wondered about that one myself....  Seems that it would be more like
1000-1500 miles.  (Con US?????)

     If the foot print is only 300 miles at 100,000 feet as you say, then
how is possible that I can work a friend air Mobile , simplex, on 2M,
coming out of Houston Hobby airfield  (nearly 600 miles away) when he
hits 20,000 feet in a  Saber Liner?   Kinda make ya wonder doesn't it.
We do this routinely.
