Hi folks, Looking for some advice. Doing some calculations and I am approximately 12.5 miles SE of Capitol Peak. Situation is that I can put the antenna about 25 feet high on my mast which should just about clear some trees and some high power lines approx. 100 yards away, in line with the peak. Can this work? Or, do I need clear LOS? Thanks Skip K.
The answer without clear line of sight is "maybe". Objects in your path will impact your signal, but whether all of the signal is blocked depends on a multitude of factors. Tom On Sun, Apr 23, 2017 at 3:09 PM, Harold Kingman <h.e.kingman@gmail.com> wrote:

Tom, Is there any way I can test this before investing in equipment? Skip On Sun, Apr 23, 2017 at 3:19 PM, Tom Hayward <tom@tomh.us> wrote:
