This is when you put up a very low to the ground HF dipole and operate the mesh in NVIS (near vertical incidence scattering) donut mode. Your node won't be able to contact anything local but it will contact a ring region about 100 miles around you with a many tens of miles gap. It is much harder to find an NVIS transmitter with multi-lateration which is why it is the mode most commonly used in military operations (for ground troops).

The network stack used in this article is called Reticulum. Reticulum can operate over really any medium that has a MDU of 500 bytes, and a throughput greater than 5 bits. I've performed this exact test using two HF radio nodes equipped with NVIS antennas operating on the 40 meter band, with each radio 144 km (90 miles) separate in distance. Node 1 was out in the field while Node 2 was back at my house. Node 2 was able to act as a bridge to the outside TCP Testnet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blwNVumLujc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blwNVumLujc
