Greater distance can be covered with multiple-hop transmissions by decreasing the:
vertical radiation angle of the antenna
A lower vertical radiation angle (takeoff angle) means the radio wave hits the ionosphere farther away, resulting in a longer skip distance for each hop. This allows covering greater distances with fewer hops or reaching farther with the same number of hops.
