[TowerTalk] elevation-angle statistical files for YT

[Gary Slagel]

Hi guys,
   
  I've been playing with YT elevation angle statistics files lately and have been surprised by the huge difference in the elevation angle statistics between regions which I would have expected to be very similar.  In particular, looking at the usa region statistics for Denver, CO (w0-co-us) and Bismark, ND (w0-nd-us), ND shows no openings at all to the the rest of the US at the lowest angles, 1 and 2 degrees.  CO shows a significantly higher percentage/strength of openings to the rest of the US.  I'm really interested in the Black HIlls area of SD and was hoping I could extrapolate from CO and ND statistics but they are so different that its difficult.
   
  I'm looking at a location in the Black Hills where I know that I'll have almost no 1 and 2 degree radiation to the east.  If the location mimics the ND statistics this will make almost no difference to the rest of the US.  If it mimics the CO statistics it will make a big difference.  
   
  Wonder if anyone has any suggestions as how I might use the CO and ND statistics to take a guess at what the BH location will look like.
   
  Thanks,
  Gary
