As troposcatter loss increases with the scatter angle[, ] you will obviously want to have as small [a] scatter angle as possible. This means that the two radiation angles should be kept as small as ever possible since every degree costs 9-12 dB [decibels]. If there is a mountain in the direction of the other station[, ] you must have a high radiation angle to shoot over the mountain, and this will cost you many dB [decibels] in signal strength. 2, record 1, English, - tropospheric%20scatter%20loss
