The only MRA in Aero Center is located at which waypoint?

In this context, an MRA marks the point where radar surveillance becomes reliable for tracking an aircraft within the Center’s airspace. The MRA is the minimum altitude at which the radar can detect and maintain contact with you along a segment. The only MRA in Aero Center is at Hedud, meaning that along the route through Hedud the radar coverage is defined by that minimum altitude. The other fixes—Sidon, Meridian, and Columbus—do not have MRA values assigned, so they aren’t designated as radar-surveillance boundary points in this center’s data. If you’re planning or tracking, Hedud is the waypoint where radar coverage considerations come into play.
