I have never seen rain fade at 11 GHz, but maybe somewhere it rains more has seen it. I think it more of a situation where they guy approving the bid is the brother in law of the vendor.

Links are all running around -27 to -33 with Aviat Eclipse gear. Pretty expensive stuff too. On Fri, Dec 30, 2016 at 9:12 AM, Adam Moffett <dmmoff...@gmail.com> wrote: 10mhz channel and 128QAM? Someone is spending a lot of money for small capacity. I guess if spectrum is tight in that area, maybe they needed the bigger dish so they could run with lower tx power and narrower beamwidth to avoid interfering with somebody else. I must be blind, but I can't find tx power on that document. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Faisal Imtiaz" <fai...@snappytelecom.net> To: "af" <af@afmug.com> Sent: 12/30/2016 10:21:07 AM Subject: [AFMUG] Question Regarding 11ghz Links. I am curious, what is the wisdom behind installing 4ft dishes for a 2/4 mile 11ghz link ? Is there a technical reason ? or is it just a way to maximize the return for the vendor ?
