--==[ SPLAT! v1.2.3 Path Analysis ]==-- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Transmitter site: paris_mountain Site location: 34.9413 North / 82.4107 West (34° 56' 28" N / 82° 24' 38" W) Ground elevation: 2040.68 feet AMSL Antenna height: 6.00 feet AGL / 2046.68 feet AMSL Distance to red_cross: 8.70 miles Azimuth to red_cross: 182.56 degrees Depression angle to red_cross: -1.3188 degrees ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Receiver site: red_cross Site location: 34.8155 North / 82.4176 West (34° 48' 55" N / 82° 25' 3" W) Ground elevation: 964.57 feet AMSL Antenna height: 75.00 feet AGL / 1039.57 feet AMSL Antenna height above average terrain: 91.60 feet Distance to paris_mountain: 8.70 miles Azimuth to paris_mountain: 2.55 degrees Elevation angle to paris_mountain: +1.1929 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: 35 Watts ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary for the link between paris_mountain and red_cross: Free space path loss: 98.71 dB Longley-Rice path loss: 98.64 dB Attenuation due to effects of terrain: -0.07 dB Field strength at red_cross: 67.38 dBuV/meter Voltage produced by a terminated 50 ohm 0 dBd gain antenna: 626.07 uV Voltage produced by a terminated 75 ohm 0 dBd gain antenna: 766.78 uV Mode of propagation: Line-Of-Sight Mode ------------------------------------------------------------------------- No obstructions to LOS path due to terrain were detected by SPLAT! Antenna at red_cross must be raised to at least 1578.00 feet AGL to clear the first Fresnel zone. 60% of the first Fresnel zone is clear.
