Default RE: 2.4 GHz vs 72 MHz - Free space loss


ORIGINAL: APMECH


The Fresnel Zone is independent of frequency and is determined by distance ( i.e. Curvature of the earth and line of site. So there should be no difference between the 72MHz and 2.4GHz frequencies.
Fresnel zone takes frequency into consideration!

(Frequency won't post)

Did several reams of paper worth of these calculations back before software was available for point to point calculations (back in the 6gHZ days)
