And line of sight at FL350 is about 200 miles altho some atmospheric conditions can improve this to over 300 miles if using powerful transmitters and tall towers. But once beyond around 400 miles from shore its HF or satcoms and HF is a very noisy (static)poor qulaity and difficult medium at the best of times and is very wearing to use for any length of time
