@Barrie: "better line of sight path therefore lower power."

Indeed, because if you are 500 metres away from a mast (and the article was talking about rural masts) the difference in path between a mast at 20 metres and 25 metres is about 22cm so not significant from an inverse square law perspective. But yeah, if that extra 5m gives you line of sight, Bazinga!
