The normal/high output was used on Spektrum DX7 system. Larry Boulet (KF8MN) and George Maiorana walked to the far edge of the field (opposite side from where Futaba and Xtreme systems were evaluated. At this point it must be noted there is a 7 foot deep gully just beyond this point. Larry and George continued to walk down "into" the 7 foot deep gully...

The third person, Willie Mc Math (back at the plane) reported normal operation even though he could no longer see Larry or George. The signal was not lost until the transmitter was lowered to about 1 foot above the ground which is about 6 feet below the top of the gully. The gully is about 800 feet from the plane. Operation was solid until it suddenly stopped when the trans reached the low point. The normal operation was resumed as soon as the transmitter was raised up about one foot.
