Abstract :
The severe fading caused by the snow of 1st March 1974 on microwave links of a propagation experiment being conducted in the Mendlesham area, Suffolk, England, is analysed. The figures derived from this event include the relative effects of snow on the antennas and in the propagation path, and the advantage offered by using switched-path diversity.
