How does vegetation affect UHF and microwave signals?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: B. Absorbs signals, leading to poor reception of weak signals
Leaves and trees absorb UHF and microwave signals, which hurts reception of weak signals. Vegetation does not amplify signals.
Tip: Trees eat microwaves; get the antenna above the foliage.
