WRPH745 Posted January 30, 2023 Report Posted January 30, 2023 At our last ham club meeting we had a presentation about terrain assessment and antennas. The website https://www.heywhatsthat.com was brought up. You can put in your location your antenna height above ground and see how far you can "see". Because of my location, I can hit repeaters east of me with not much height but I found out I can put an antenna at 50 ft and still not go west. SteveShannon, wayoverthere and Duck218 3 Quote
wayoverthere Posted January 30, 2023 Report Posted January 30, 2023 That site is a great resource...we've been half looking at houses, and I've been running potential homes against that to see what i'd be be up against for the hobby, both figuratively and literally. SteveShannon 1 Quote
DONE Posted January 31, 2023 Report Posted January 31, 2023 I typically use RADIO MOBILE (google it) for coverage mapping work. It has the ability to map both talk out and talk in from different subscriber configurations like mobile and portable with different power levels. Will pull down several different maps and create different maps depending on what you are asking it to do. Quote
gortex2 Posted January 31, 2023 Report Posted January 31, 2023 Google earth does the same. I use it alot for work path study stuff. Quote
Borage257 Posted January 31, 2023 Report Posted January 31, 2023 RadioMobileOnline is pretty good Quote
WRPH745 Posted January 31, 2023 Author Report Posted January 31, 2023 Thank you for the suggestion of Radio Mobile. It is interesting to compare results from both sites. Quote
