Question 117

What effect does fog or rain have on 10-meter and 6-meter band signals?

  1. Absorption
  2. Little effectCorrect answer
  3. Deflection
  4. Increased range

Explanation

At 10 and 6 metres, rain and fog droplets are far smaller than the wavelengths, so they cause negligible absorption or scattering. Rain attenuation becomes a consideration at microwave frequencies of several gigahertz and above, not on these HF and VHF bands.
