[QUOTE="Virtual1, post: 27344, member: 4084"] It depends on how you want to define "line of sight". In the radio business, low frequencies can follow the curve of the earth and you can communicate over the horizon. But higher frequencies like UHF require "line of sight" between the antennas for good communication. I can be miles away from someone and if I have "line of sight" we should have no problem talking. I sure can't [I]see[/I] them though! I suppose you could just make your own interpretation for LOS that differs from historical use, but I think it would be a better idea to use a more appropriate description like "maintain visual contact". That doesn't just mean there's nothing in the way, it also means I can SEE it. ;) If they're using the term "line of sight" where they mean "so you can see it", they need to change their terminology, not start changing the meaning of words they've already started using.
