Effective Radiated Power - HAAT

HAAT

The height above average terrain for VHF and higher frequencies is extremely important when considering ERP, as the signal coverage (broadcast range) produced by a given ERP dramatically increases with antenna height. Because of this, it is possible for a station of only a few hundred watts ERP to cover more area than one of a few thousand, as its signal travels above obstructions on the ground.
