[TowerTalk] Skip Distance

[Richard (Rick) Karlquist]

You could try measuring with short bursts of RF (a few 100's of 
microseconds) and look at the received signal audio with a scope.
You should be able to resolve sufficiently in the time domain
to separate the ground wave signal from the sky wave signal.
