Tower location ?

Thanks "zeebee". There are plenty of other better locations, that are away from the Airport and houses.
We previously suggested to Council that Telstra look at erecting their Tower on a high point, on the ridge line just to the north of the Township. Their propagation survey came back showing that the antenna on the high point would have far less coverage that the antenna placed on the lowest point (next to the airport, in a valley).

I just can't understand it.

This must be the only antenna in history that covers a greater area if placed at the bottom of a valley, compared to the top of the surrounding hills ?
