  • Abstract
    In order that future HF installations be properly planned, a need exists for easily usable information regarding the effects of environment and environmental changes on antenna radiation patterns. This communication presents the results of calculations showing the effect of snow cover on the radiation patterns of base-fed vertical whip antennas.
