--==[ SPLAT! v1.2.3 Path Analysis ]==-- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Transmitter site: caesars_head_100 Site location: 35.1128 North / 82.6081 West (35° 6' 45" N / 82° 36' 28" W) Ground elevation: 3024.93 feet AMSL Antenna height: 300.00 feet AGL / 3324.93 feet AMSL Antenna height above average terrain: 1317.04 feet Distance to gspnws: 27.08 miles Azimuth to gspnws: 125.73 degrees Depression angle to gspnws: -1.1311 degrees ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Receiver site: gspnws Site location: 34.8833 North / 82.2203 West (34° 52' 59" N / 82° 13' 13" W) Ground elevation: 951.44 feet AMSL Antenna height: 40.00 feet AGL / 991.44 feet AMSL Antenna height above average terrain: 102.70 feet Distance to caesars_head_100: 27.08 miles Azimuth to caesars_head_100: 305.95 degrees Elevation angle to caesars_head_100: +0.7394 degrees ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Longley-Rice path calculation parameters used in this analysis: Earth's Dielectric Constant: 15.000 Earth's Conductivity: 0.005 Siemens/meter Atmospheric Bending Constant (N-units): 301.000 ppm Frequency: 146.520 MHz Radio Climate: 5 (Continental Temperate) Polarization: 1 (Vertical) Fraction of Situations: 50.0% Fraction of Time: 60.0% Transmitter ERP: 100 Watts ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary for the link between caesars_head_100 and gspnws: Free space path loss: 108.57 dB Longley-Rice path loss: 108.60 dB Attenuation due to effects of terrain: 0.03 dB Field strength at gspnws: 61.97 dBuV/meter Voltage produced by a terminated 50 ohm 0 dBd gain antenna: 335.97 uV Voltage produced by a terminated 75 ohm 0 dBd gain antenna: 411.48 uV Mode of propagation: Line-Of-Sight Mode ------------------------------------------------------------------------- No obstructions to LOS path due to terrain were detected by SPLAT! Antenna at gspnws must be raised to at least 101.00 feet AGL to clear the first Fresnel zone. 60% of the first Fresnel zone is clear.
