[VHFcontesting] Maps to Plot Single Hop and Double Hop ESkip Range (Les Rayburn)

[kb8u vhf]

Hi, Les.  2300 km or 1400 miles is a good approximation, twice that for 2 hops.

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.
