To answer your question though, about UHF/VHF "falling off a cliff" at a certain point --
Let's just say it's INCONCLUSIVE. That fact doesn't lean Flat Earth, but it doesn't prove a globe either. It is inconclusive. What you bring up isn't braindead or stupid, or 10-times refuted as so many other NON-arguments (e.g., ships sailing over the horizon). Nevertheless, it is merely inconclusive and merits further study.
There is obviously something different about how VHF and higher radio signals propagate, vs. lower frequency signals. That is obvious. We don't know much about how the ETHER behaves after all, since they "did away with" the Ether years ago, even though it never stopped existing. We just know nothing about it now.
Knickebein bombing radar, on the other hand, conclusively falsifies the Globe model. There is no excuse or explanation.
