[QUOTE="gambit, post: 859437, member: 304438"] Yes, I know. Calculating a diffraction pattern that includes spurious reflections is complex. That's why it is so surprising that the highly simplified model of a single, smooth, parabolic reflector seems to predict the shape of the 1st null from SW Spain all the way to NE Germany. Of course, maybe the prediction isn't really all that good. A proper test would need to check against more than just two points along the null contour and reliable reception reports would be needed for each of those "null" points. [/QUOTE]
