Abstract:
VOLUME I: HF radio propagation predictions are calculated for Voice of America circuits using the OT/ITS prediction program. Some of the parameters given are maximum usable frequency, the optimum traffic frequency, the lowest useful frequency, available signal-to-noise ratio, and circuit reliability.
VOLUME II: HF radio propagation predictions are calculated for 35 circuits from the Voice of America transmitting facility at Tinang, P.I., 30 circuits from their facility at Kavala, Greece, 12 circuits from their transmitting facility at Greenville, N.C., and 21 circuits from their transmitting facility at Wooferton, England, using the OT/ITS prediction program. The program selects the optimum antenna at the facility for each circuit and the antenna identification and gain are listed in the predictions.
Disclaimer: Certain commercial equipment, components, and software may be identified in this report to specify adequately the technical aspects of the reported results. In no case does such identification imply recommendation or endorsement by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, nor does it imply that the equipment or software identified is necessarily the best available for the particular application or uses.
