[AFMUG] NED vs SRTM

[Adam Moffett]

If there's a 5 meter discrepancy between USGS National Elevation Data 
and the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, who would you trust? Would you 
bet $500 on it?

In this case, with NED I'll have LOS on a backhaul, and with SRTM I'm in 
the woods.  I'm under the impression that SRTM sometimes gets you 
treetops rather than the ground.  If I'm wrong I have alternate paths, 
but I'd have to pay for a new PCN....so it really is a $500 bet. :)
