Quick tech question..
Why is it that the formula for free space loss (propagation loss)
includes the function of wavelength as a variable?  
I've been using the free space loss equaltion for years, but I never
really bothered to figure ot what the hell frequency has to do with
the signal being attenuated faster at higher frequencies?
BTW:    FSL  =  10 log (4 x Pi X Distance / Wavelength (meters) squared
There are about 20 different ways to write the free space formula so dont get 
on my case if you use a different one (some people write 20 log and then just 
dont square the equation.)   radio researchers who model propagation losses 
over varying terrains or model atmospheric conditions often utilize a much 
more comliccated formulas which I wont list..
Anyway, if ya wanna give me the quick answer fine, a complicated one. 
whatever, I just cant figure this one out..
