I’m very interested in determining my maximum possible range for eskip propagation, for both single and double hops. I’d like to plot this on a map to have as a reference for my operating desk. 

Looked at tools like the NS6T Azimuthal Map generator:

But is this the best approach? Not sure what distance to specify for single and double hops? Any help appreciated.
