[TowerTalk] MicroDEM

[SJ W3TX]

Has anyone figured out how to set-up MicroDEM so that when you pull up the
DEM file it displays the topographic lines?

I'm hunting for a new hilltop location, and that feature sure would help.

Also, with regard to HFTA, any explanation why a station at the bottom of a
200ft hill that gradually rises the +200ft over 2 miles toward EU has a
better low angle coverage that the same antenna system on the top of a 50ft
hill that gradually falls -50ft over 2 miles toward EU?  This one doesn't
seem intuitive.  No saltwater out here in PA to explain this one...
