Abstract :
Observations on 2 GHz and 7.5 GHz microwave links operating in Khartoum revealed that the attenuation effect of dust storms is negligible. Attenuations of less than 0.5 dB were recorded during storms with visibilities of less than 200 m. This confirms theoretical findings made by a number of workers.
