Ha good advice, the world is indeed NOT FLAT!!! image

 

I've had this in my bookmarks for many years and I thought I'd share it with the few HAMs who have failed to spot it.

This Software makes a really good job at estimating the reception of yours or other person's signal based on

height, frequency,and a raft of terain variables! the end result is aset of highly coloured charts overlayed on

various map sources including the inevitable Google maps.

  • How much does this software cost?

     

    I worked at a place that had similar software.  We were looking to set up antennas in our area.  It's amazing how what is a direct path is not intuitive.  There was one six-mile path that seemed like it should work with two 40' towers, but it turned out there's a ridge between us that I never even noticed while biking between the two sites.  You really need software to know if you have LOS.
