Understanding VHF Propagation

If you have you ever wondered how radio waves from a radio transceiver are able to travel the distance that they do, then this is for you. This is an easy to understand yet thorough teaching of how VHF radio waves propogate - these principles can also be applied to UHF. 

The presentation covers topics including VHF frequency range, line of site principles, propagation characteristics such as refraction, reflection, diffraction, scattering, multi-path, tropospheric ducting, and earth-moon-earth (EME). Yes, you can use the moon as a reflector! How cool is that?
