Common volume
Over the horizon: the two horizon-skimming rays intersect at the common volume ≈ 64 m AGL at the midpoint (191 m above the chord, 95 m above the 4/3 horizon), so its Fresnel zone (F₁ ≈ 24.6 m) clears with margin. The geometric line of sight is obstructed — buried 86 m below terrain at its worst point.
