This section of the wiki is a directory of sites suitable for portable microwave and ATV operation. The idea is to list the height, the good and bad take off direction, whether the site is accessible using a vehicle, facilities on-site and if there are nearby transmitters likely to cause interference.
Each site has a link to it's entry in the heywhatsthat on-line profiling website. This enables you to see the exact location of the site and view the panorama from the site. By clicking on another point on the map it will show view the path profile to that location - by clicking on "parameters" just below the profile you can enter the RF frequency you are interested in and get a path loss profile between the 2 sites. In theory the Fresnel zone is coloured in orange.
Please add any sites you know about to both the wiki and the Heywhatsthat. To add another site you need to be logged in - then edit the list on this page to add the new site by adding the site name in the correct area. Then highlight the site name and click on the link symbol, insert link and save the page. Your new site name should be on the list - go to the site template page, click edit and copy the text. Return to this page and click on your new site in the list - paste the template text and add the site details.
