A directional antenna pointed in the long-path direction to another station is generally oriented how many degrees from its short-path heading?
- A 45 degrees
- B 90 degrees
- C 270 degrees
- D 180 degrees
Correct answer: D — 180 degrees. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
Long-path and short-path are opposite directions on a circle, so pointing a directional antenna toward the long path means aiming it exactly 180 degrees away from the short-path heading. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
