Hello,

New at this.

I guess radio waves can go through wood just fine, as I can har signals from
my Discone that's in my attic.

But, there is, I imagine, some attenuation as a function of type, thickness
(of the wood) and the frequency involved.

Are there any good links explaining Attenuation as a function of frequency
for different materials, etc. ?

thanks,
Bob



Bob;

Attenuation can be a problem but not until frequencies reach the Ghz
range. Then it is a case of radiated signal being reflected not absorbed
by the intervening material. i.e. wood will absorb, radome plastic will
transfer.

As for a source of information, all I can suggest is GOOGLE.
