[VHFcontesting] Propagation gurus wanted

[Steve Kavanagh]

Gene:

In this area we've certainly observed that sort of thing on the microwave bands (especially 10 GHz, but as low as 1296) where both stations are experiencing good tropo, but the direct path between them is blocked by hills, trees, buildings, etc.  A reflection path can then be best, and quite strong over quite long distances when conditions are good.

It seems rather less likely on the lower bands, however, where it's harder to completely block a path and reflecting objects need to be bigger.
