[UK-CONTEST] Aircraft Reflection Path Plot

[Ken Eastty]

  Aircraft Reflection Path Plot (Ray James) -

Thanks for that Ray, this is no doubt the mechanism which permits 
reception of GB3ANG here (IO81WV) on 2 & 4m for most of the time 
providing there's plenty of traffic in the airway between Manchester & 
EI. It's a pity that the plots don't include the height at which an 
aircraft would have to be flying for it to be 'seen' from both ends of 
the path but I suppose that it only takes a few moments to calculate it.

So far I've not heard GM8RBR's  new 10W beacon on Skye (IO67UF) on 70.1 
Mc/s except via ms. The typical height of most airliners would seem to 
be insufficient to act as a reflector over this path.

73...
