--==[ 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 w4djw: 20.48 miles Azimuth to w4djw: 119.23 degrees Depression angle to w4djw: -1.3673 degrees ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Receiver site: w4djw Site location: 34.9676 North / 82.2924 West (34° 58' 3" N / 82° 17' 32" W) Ground elevation: 1003.94 feet AMSL Antenna height: 20.00 feet AGL / 1023.94 feet AMSL Antenna height above average terrain: 36.38 feet Distance to caesars_head_100: 20.48 miles Azimuth to caesars_head_100: 299.41 degrees Elevation angle to caesars_head_100: +1.0710 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 w4djw: Free space path loss: 106.15 dB Longley-Rice path loss: 106.14 dB Attenuation due to effects of terrain: -0.01 dB Field strength at w4djw: 64.44 dBuV/meter Voltage produced by a terminated 50 ohm 0 dBd gain antenna: 446.15 uV Voltage produced by a terminated 75 ohm 0 dBd gain antenna: 546.43 uV Mode of propagation: Line-Of-Sight Mode ------------------------------------------------------------------------- No obstructions to LOS path due to terrain were detected by SPLAT! Antenna at w4djw must be raised to at least 87.00 feet AGL to clear the first Fresnel zone. 60% of the first Fresnel zone is clear.
