III. Estimation procedure with the chart ( for un-cylindrical obstacles)
i) Estimate the distance (R) from the antenna to the obstacle R (m)
ii) Read the effective propagation radius (r) at R meter distance
(at point A) from the antenna in the Chart 4-4-4c r (m)
iii) Estimate the obstacle area (S

) just occupying effective propagation

iv) Read the loss in the Chart 4-4-4d L

v) Determine whether the loss is allowable.
