Relay Station

A relay station is a location where signals are received and then retransmitted to extend the range of communication. In aviation, a relay station is a ground-based radio station that receives signals from an aircraft and then relays them to another station or aircraft. This is particularly useful in areas where direct communication between the aircraft and ground station is not possible due to distance or terrain. Relay stations can also be used to extend the range of air traffic control communications, allowing controllers to communicate with aircraft over a wider area.
