Radiowave Propagation over Black Sea – Measurements Survey

Propagation measurements survey over Black Sea was performed between Crimea peninsula, Turkey and Bulgaria. Twenty one very high frequency range radio broadcasting transmitters were used, transmitting both, analog and digital signals from five different points. Eight propagation paths with path lengths from 265 to 484 km and different antenna heights were monitored almost simultaneously. Detailed data and results are provided and might be used for propagation model verification, or detailed evaluation of interference between stations, working in the same or adjacent frequency channels, to avoid unacceptable interference due to long-distance tropospheric propagation.
