Hey whats that - VK5TM - 06-11-2019
Saw this on a UK forum this morning. Some may know about it, others maybe not.
Basically, you enter your location, in Latitude and Longitude (or click on the map) give your panorama a title and set a height above ground for your antenna and the program plots the visual horizon for your location from that height.

Great find
My antennas see the tops of trees 30 feet away .....

Been using it for years. Very useful. If you set the refraction parameter to 0.3 the profile will match the RF path.
You can also save the URL shown at the top left (under the name you've given the site) if you want to look at it again later or share it.
e.g. This is Mt Lofty: https://www.heywhatsthat.com/?view=MA6JQW3X

I just did my RF path profile. Very depressing
Certainly explains why I get poor results in a lot of directions.Wayne VK4WDM
