    The document describes how to calculate the tilt angle α needed for an antenna to cover a given distance x, given the ground altitude h and antenna height y. It provides an example calculation where h=19m, y=70m, x=5km, resulting in a tilt angle of 1.0197572 radians. It then works through another example with h=14m, y=40m, and calculates the distance covered x would be 1.546358 km for a tilt angle of 2 degrees.
