Directory of portable sites

From BATC Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This section of the wiki is a directory of sites suitable for portable microwave and ATV operation.


This 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 heywhatsthat. 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 a path to any point coloured in orange (the Fresnel zone) should work.


Please add any sites you know about and use to both the wiki and the Heywhatsthat.
