What is the approximate maximum surface separation between two stations that can communicate by EME?

AnswerAbout 12,000 miles when both stations can see the Moon.

Earth-Moon-Earth communication is possible whenever both stations have the Moon above their usable horizons, allowing nearly opposite points on Earth to share a lunar path.
