- Path loss is not constant but varies greatly with?weather conditions. Such a program likely assumes a loss number that is good for almost all the time. Whereas vhf contesters work new grids by findin

- Hello to all....I have run a SPLAT! plot for my station, assuming 144.2Mhz and an antenna height of 440ft.....I clearly don't understand what this plot is telling me. The circular pattern that I get

- Marshall - The coverage maps should show you path loss in a number that is in dB. What is the path loss at the outer edge of the 50 mile circle? I found the coverage circle to be a bit short here as

- For more accurate coverage/path analysis I prefer Radio Mobile, and it's still freeware: http://www.cplus.org/rmw/english1.html p.s. - here's a giggle, I downloaded the DEM's for the entire northeast

- I also use Radiomobile. I find that it does a pretty good job of predicting performance on a particular path. There is a learning curve, and I am no expert, or accomplished user, but I do find it ver

- Wow, Ron, that's amazing! I downloaded the DTED's for the surrounding 100 grids to my QTH on a high-speed connection and that took some hours. I agree, Radio Mobile is an excellent tool and you can't
