Abstract :
Height-gain calculations have been made using Norton´s formulas at low and broadcast frequencies in cases where the values of numerical distance and numerical height do not permit the use of simplified graphical methods. Field strength measurements at various altitudes showed good agreement with the calculated values. The airborne field strength measuring installation and the manner of its use are described.
