[NLRS] Attenuation by Foliage

Interesting reading on the foliage attenuation effects.

I almost experienced “attenuation by foliage” when the storm blew 
through this morning. I’ve got a half-dozen tree limbs laying in the 
yard not far from the tower. Looks like the antennas were not hit, 
though the 6m LFA I installed on July 3rd will have to be realigned on 
the mast and secured more firmly.

My brother-in-law refers to the maple trees as “self-pruning”, and that 
wouldn’t be a worry except they are 10-15 feet higher than my antenna;)

Hope you all survived the wind and rain.
