APPENDIX A: DRAWING COVERAGE MAPS

If you already have a small operating radio system, determining your existing coverage has probably
already been done, at least in your thoughts. Draw a coverage map centered on your existing repeater
location using a large scale map (road map) of your operating area and indicate coverage areas using
notes as shown in Figure A-1. Because radio signals are primarily line-of-sight paths, studying your
map should show the reasons for your missing or poor coverage, usually some sort of obstruction.
