Troposcatter truly will work even over the horizon. Takes a HUGE amount of
power though.
Diffraction. Knife edge diffraction. You can get a signal to go over a
mountain with it. The sharper the edge of the mountain the better it works. I
used it to get a VHF telephone circuit into Dangling Rope Marina on Lake Powell
about 40 years ago. Lots of VHF tv was received in rural areas using this
effect.
I am guessing you can get 900 to do this if the edge is sharp. Like the
roofline of a building that has metal roofing.
And then there is always moonbounce...

It was a fail because they announced the Osborne 2 before it was ready and
customers waited for it rather than buying the Osborne 1.

I so remember those ads, the guy carrying a suitcase computer gets onto an
elevator and up into a lot of light! (as in gone to heaven?) That was a fail?
I knew several co-workers who bought one. Compaq came out with something
similar and then TRS came out with something a little better. But for the time
period these were fantastic. This was back when an IBM PC not the AT was still
going for $4k and no hard drive.
In our wisp we have several 900Mhz radios. They work just fine where 2ghz and
3ghz would not work and forget the 5ghz. Hopefully they'll last another year.

Osborne Effect refers to one of the most infamous marketing fails of all time.

Has Tarana done this by announcing the G2 while all they have shipping is the
G1?
Or is the G2 so much more expensive that it’s just for window shopping
anyway? I figure if these are being bought with BEAD money, frugality may be
out the window.
