Common volume
Over the horizon: the two horizon-skimming rays intersect at the common volume ≈ 72 m AGL at the midpoint (216 m above the chord, 108 m above the 4/3 horizon), so its Fresnel zone (F₁ ≈ 25.3 m) clears with margin. The geometric line of sight is obstructed — buried 121 m below terrain at its worst point.
