There is a lot more that comes into consideration than height when you begin to predict the range and/or coverage. I would suggest that anybody wanting to make predictions of coverage obtain a copy of GE's DF-10003-1 VHF and UHF Propagation. There are a lot of graphs, but It will help you get

Actually Ken the loss at 800 MHz is usually less than UHF, especially in the long needle pine forests. Typical loss from forests, depending upon the density will be 10 to 20 db. Long needle pine forests will cause an additional 10 db loss at UHF frequencies and gets worse at 512 MHz. Fred

John: You are approximately correct. The Mfg. will have a spec load and a spec low voltage where the load cuts off. A greater load than this spec and you should obtain less A/H and less than this spec load, you will receive a greater A/H rating. The hard part is to find the Mfg specs. Fred
