Hi guys, I've been playing with YT elevation angle statistics files lately and have been surprised by the huge difference in the elevation angle statistics between regions which I would have expected
A 1 degree response angle on low bands is fantasy... I would not use that criteria as my guide for a location... denny / k8do __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired o
Thanks Dennis, Yeah, I know that 1 degree is pretty difficult to get to, I've sure never had an antenna that gave me much at 1 degree. But... I'm looking at a new house and its kind of a bummer to se
It isn't only line of sight. It is the diffraction of the wavefront in that range that has a lot to do with your takeoff angle. IMO, you would be well advised to run the newer HFTA analysis on that Q
For what its worth, I live next to a small mountain (or a big hill, depending on your reference points) that is about 15 degrees high to the west. This blocks my path to the south Pacific. I can work
I have a great deal of respect for N6BV's HFTA (the improved successor to YT) and the rather sophisticated ray analysis that went into it, but I think it may be prudent to be a bit careful how rigoro
My mistake, seat of the pants comment. You're right, the W0-CO-US path certainly leans toward the higher angles but the statistics still show a big difference at the low angles between CO and ND/IA s
