A mobile phone base-station is on a 11 m high mast which stands on top of a hill of height 32 m above sea-level at a location that is 1.1 km inland from the shore. The terrain is dry sand and scrub. A yachtsman out at sea uses a mobile phone to communicate with the base-station on a 3 GHz carrier frequency. His phone has an external antenna attached to the top of the yacht's mast, 11 m above sea-level.
