Odd thing is, they could have done a 4 patch array out of PCB material, had the same gain and pattern for much less money, weight, wind loading and loading moment.
If they want sexy they should have done a dielguide/rod antenna. That would have given more gain and been truly “sexy”.

I am considering special plans that only apply to the subdivisions immediately around my suburban water towers. I could get something like the new RF Elements horns and have some crazy downtilt so that my signal doesn't go further out than 2 miles. That high elevation will help out with that much downtilt. Now my fastest two plans are 4 megs for $60 and 10 megs for $100. I've been considering doubling the speed across the board, but I may need to revisit that offering to see how well it stacks up against them. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: "Tyler Treat via Af" <af@afmug.com> To: af@afmug.com Sent: Saturday, October 18, 2014 10:15:14 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Random thought Yea but there will always be a subset of individuals who opt for a third option, be it for reliability, customer service, whatever.
