Why does a high site see more interference than a low one?

  • A.Atmospheric noise increases with altitude above sea level
  • B.The equipment is more sensitive at lower air pressure
  • C.It has line of sight to many more distant transmitters
  • D.Its antennas are less directive because of the exposure

Answer: C

The same elevation that gives a long clear path to the next repeater also gives clear paths to every other transmitter within the extended horizon, so co-channel and adjacent channel interference must be assessed carefully at hilltop sites. Antenna directivity, atmospheric noise and pressure are not the mechanism. A property that helps the wanted signal helping the unwanted one equally is a recurring difficulty, and it is why frequency coordination is done site by site.
