he average refractivity gradient and the average effective earth radius (k – factor) estimated for Accra during the period under investigation were found to be -44.1405 N-units/km and 1.39 respectively suggesting that the propagation in this geographical location is mostly super – refractive. The highest and lowest mean values of FSV were found during the dry and rainy seasons in the months of January and June with 3.0998 dB and 0.0158 dB respectively.
