[TowerTalk] Jungle forest attenuation

[Gene Bigham]

I hate to say this but why are you so concerned about the jungle attenuation when there is nothing you can do short of slash and burn to eliminate it for miles around you.  When I lived in the Philippines, with jungle all about at that time, we just slung our antenna up and operated.
All the analysis in the world will not bring you any better propagation.  Live with it and become a fantastic operator.
There I said it.
