Artsci takes into account
To properly estimate a signals range, you must have a few important figures: -- Frequency / Band -- Transmitter power (in watts) -- Antenna height (from sea level) -- Antenna gain (net after coax loss) And that is what the original poster asked for (I thought) -- 73 From The Wilderness Keyboard "Richard Harrison" wrote in message ... Wilderness Keyboard wrote: "See Guide to Transmitter Range from Artsci---." See the 19th edition of the "ARRL Antenna Book" pages 23.5 and 23.6. Eqn. 3: Dmiles = 1.415 sq rt Hfeet This can be rewritten: D = sq rt 2H Wasn`t it Albert Einstein who wrote something like: "Don`t make things any more complicated than necessary?" Solutions to Eqn 3 are plotted in Fig 6. Example: 20 ft gives 6 miles. The approximate sq rt of 40 is 6 miles. Example: 50 ft gives 10 miles. The approximate sq rt of 100 is 10 miles. Example: 200 Ft gives 20 miles. The approximate sq rt of 400 is 20 miles. Etc., etc., etc.. Best regards, Richard Harrison, KB5WZI |
