Abstract :
The paper presents results from statistical studies of radio propagation at frequencies between 1.3 GHz and 11.7 GHz on radio paths of 153-297 km, with data collected over 8 years. Data from the first 3 years were used in COST Project 210 and related to annual average conditions. More recent data, included in the paper, have been used to study worst month statistics, signal attenuation in propagation over coastal zones and 1.3/11.7 GHz frequency scaling
