man that map is awesome. i don't know how i have never come across it before. dern shame i didn't see it prior to it being a historic curiosity. things like this get deleted cause people who host them think no one would be, or is still, interested. they are mistaken too sadly. thanks for keeping it aroundStirring up old memories.... TROOP G - LOWBAND SITE COVERAGE MAP /
Fun fact: If you key up all 6 stations on the same freq, you don't get heard 6x better!!
SPLAT! was used to generate the coverage maps. It's pretty crude and not a replacement for field surveys. The actual 42MHz coverage varied quite dramatically from what was calculated and displayed on the map. It was mainly used for training communicators and geographically showing why selecting the proper station really did matter and helping explain why you cannot use more than one station on the same channel at a time. Funny thing is.... If they would have just used the voter talkback they wouldn't have to worry about what site they should respond withwhen i see coverage maps like this one, which is quite granular in detail, i am always curious as to the method that the little tiny spots in the fringe/margin areas are determined.

Just another "ghost" of emergency management still in use. Low band may be out of style it is still a good spectrum when needed. Still have my EM radio in the basement.NCSHP renewal of oldie but goodie frequency 47.460 granted by FCC this week, guess they aren't ready to let go yet.
