SITE SELECTION - Continued
b.
Signal Path Considerations. The path of the signal being
transmitted from the target area may change direction before being
received by your df antenna.
This can result in an erroneous line
of bearing reading.
Keep the following conditions in mind when
establishing a df site:
Radio waves can be reflected off buildings, mountains
or metal objects.
Position a direction finder set away
from such reflectors.
Metal objects, such as fences or armored vehicles, can
act as transmitters when some radio waves pass through
them.
Avoid metal objects that can cause reradiation.
Site vehicles should be in quadrant of least interest.
Radio waves can be bent as they pass from one atmospheric
condition to another.
This happens when signals pass
through the moist air over water
to the dry air over land.
D
O
not position a direction finder set near a shore line.
c.
Tarqet Transmitter Location Considerations.
The location of
the target transmitter may contain conditions that will cause an
erroneous reading on your direction finder set.
You do not have
control over these conditions.
However, if the target transmitter
is more than 15 kilometers away, the chance of error is greatly
reduced.
