Line of site means that the antenna only need to see each other. That doesn't mean they need to be seen from the ground. I was guessing that you can sit an antenna on the flat roof of a tower, with a clear line on another site, but not visible from the ground. Distributing the signal locally is a different problem I suppose. > What I never realised was that many prominent hill tops have regular UK > power sockets on top of them, to plug in all the radio gear.
