TWiRT 593 - RF Propagation Mapping with Doug Vernier

Doug Vernier, Consulting Engineer and founder of V-Soft, is talking to us about RF signal propagation and the incredible maps that reveal your coverage area in so many ways.  We'll examine over a dozen real-world signal maps to compare FCC contours vs. Longley-Rice coverage. Plus Doug shows us the huge differences between your station’s “coverage area” with and without accounting for “interference areas”. 

Show Notes:
The RF Maps we showed during the show are also viewable in this album on Google Photos.
