Hole-to-hole radio tomography of the rock in between

Method notes

Interpretation

At 1 MHz the host attenuates 0.46 dB/m, giving a practical hole-to-hole range near 237 m; the conductive zone adds a measurable 60.0 dB shadow.

Attenuation vs frequency

Choosing the operating frequency is a direct trade between range and resolution.
