* * T3C01 Why are direct (not via a repeater) UHF signals rarely heard from stations outside your local coverage area? They are too weak to go very far FCC regulations prohibit them from going more than 50 miles UHF signals are usually not reflected by the ionosphere They collide with trees and shrubbery and fade out T3A08 What is the cause of irregular fading of signals from distant stations during times of generally good reception. Absorption of signals by the D layer of the ionosphere Absorption of signals by the E layer of the ionosphere Random combining of signals arriving via different path lengths Intermodulation distortion in the local receiver * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Technician Licensing Class Weak Signal Propagation Section 10 Weak Signal Propagation T5C7 Radio waves is a usual name for electromagnetic waves that travel through space. Electromagnetic waves are RADIO WAVES Weak Signal Propagation T3C10 The distance at which radio signals between two points are effectively blocked by the curvature of the Earth is the radio horizon. VHF UHF radio signals will generally travel “line of sight.” VHF UHF radio signals are blocked by the curvature of the Earth. Weak Signal Propagation T3C11 VHF and UHF radio signals usually travel somewhat farther than the visual line of sight distance between two stations because the Earth seems less curved to radio waves than to light. Knife-Edge Propagation T3C5 The term knife-edge propagation refers to signals that are partially refracted around solid objects exhibiting sharp edges. Weak Signal Propagation T3C6 Tropospheric scatter is responsible for allowing over-the-horizon VHF and UHF communications to ranges of approximately 300 miles on a regular basis. T3C8 Temperature inversions in the atmosphere causes tropospheric ducting. Tropospheric Ducting Weak Signal Propagation T3C3 A characteristic of VHF signals received via auroral reflection is that the signals exhibit rapid
