Thanks for that. Pretty useful those trees then. There are a number of
large trees in the village and have to be very big to survive the winds
at this altitude. Not sure how a tower would fair up here - and
probably not necessary according to some coverage map simulations I've
been doing - http://home.btconnect.com/g1lvn/eqso/maps/


Interesting projections/simulations, how did you make these maps?

I'm interested in producing maps of such detail for various locations
across the West Midlands Region.

has links to coverage map software from VE2DBE and "G8GTZ how to get
started guide". The G8GTZ stuff is essentially because it's a bugger to
get the altitude date for the UK loaded in.

Takes a while to get it working, but once you have mastered it the
worlds your lobster. It's all freeware as well - works as well as lot
of commercial stuff which costs thousands of pounds

Thanks Gareth.

Have a look at what G3TVU of Derby Raynet did. I have a feeling you may
want to do something similar.

A lot of work it seems (at least in working out how to use the software
initially), particularly as several applications appear to be used in a
modular fashion, I'll have to take a look at it in more depth in a few
days time.

I do something similar to this when producing MeteorSat-8 Imagery from
HRIT Data.
