What gauge of copper wire did you use? How did you attach it to the
antenna? Do you have any photos? One problem i see is the pom pom
getting iced and snow covered during winter. Thanks for the info.

Chris,
May not be your problem but I had two towers that were repeatedly
having rx signal strength over all clients on that tower degrading
over time. It appears that it was static buildup on omnis from
pacwireless even though we had the usual grounding and lightening
protection installed. We installed pom poms on those and that took
care of our problem. Basically the pom pom that we installed is a
length of copper wire such as used for grounding of electrical boxes
with many short pieces soldered at one end making it look like a
porcupine. That stuck up above the omni perhaps 6 inches to a foot.
The rest of it runs down the omni and attaches to the tower which is
grounded.

We just put up a new RB532 AP with a 2.4 radio. All clients are
Tranzeo
CPQ's and SL2's. Worked great for about a week, now I'm showing that
all clients have lost anywhere from 10 to 20 db. I have rebooted
the AP
and some of the clients and the signals remain poor. Running latest
firmware on RB532 and the Tranzeo cpe's. Have not made and changes to
the config since putting the unit. Only major change has been the
temperature at night. Getting down to the lower 40's and mid-30's.
I'll have our tower guys check the antenna tomorrow, but wondering of
there is anything else i should check? Could the cold nights done
something to the radio???
