What type of propagation is responsible for allowing over-the-horizon VHF and UHF communications to ranges of approximately 300 miles on a regular basis?

Tropospheric ducting occurs when atmospheric layers refract VHF and UHF signals so they remain trapped near Earth for long distances, sometimes hundreds of miles.
