FIXES


Fix: The intersection of the lines of bearing from each location

    Fixes are obtained when two or more stations with directional antennas aim their antennas toward different headings, each leading together at a central point.

Where they overlap is the area of the fix.

The area between the lines before the fix is called a bearing sector.

Mountains and water sometimes reflect
the radio signals, and sometimes the
reflected wave is stronger than the true
wave. The signal strength is not really
helpful in the mountains.

However the basic knowlede of the
surrounding terrain may be helpful
in determining wether or not the signal
is true or reflected.
