Just remember that the frequencies we use today were not used forever. In WW2 they were using pretty low frequencies. During Vietnam 800MHz hadn't been opened up yet. I don't believe that anecdotes about the effect of leaves on Ghz frequencies learned from 30yrs ago or more are still valid. But they may well have been true about the low frequencies in use at the time.

So it was determined that it's the sap in the trees not the leaves that kill the signal the most. Anyone got a link to something a little more "scientific"? Oh ya, I do trust this guy. He knows his stuff....wrote this book http://www.arrl.org/catalog/?item=8624 but I just want a 2nd opinion.
