Good point......South Florida. They have fixed modulation on this link
so they need it to work at 128QAM in the middle of tropical storm.

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.

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 ?
