No rain fade at 11 GHz? I see 40+ dB fades on 10 mile links. I almost don’t need to check the weather radar, I can tell where it’s raining and how hard by looking at my 11 GHz signal graphs.

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.

Looks like down at the bottom under Radio Information, 27.5 dBm. Links are all running around -27 to -33 with Aviat Eclipse gear. Pretty expensive stuff too.

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 <mailto:fai...@snappytelecom.net> > To: "af" <af@afmug.com <mailto: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 ?
