What is the approximate maximum separation measured along the surface of the Earth between two stations communicating by EME?

Answer12,000 miles, if the moon is “visible” by both stations

For EME, two Earth stations can communicate as long as both can see the Moon. Their separation along Earth's surface can therefore approach about 12,000 miles.
