Re: [AFMUG] Multi-path, Reflections, and Ducting

This is 3 ghz, different freznel. But I think it may be slant, or maybe
that was the 320. It's been a long time since I onboarded that system.
It's hard to get techs to understand for sure. I always wanted to set up a
water tray use the ripples to show destructive and constructive miltipath
and the different ways freznel obstruction/reflectivity impacts the
receiver side

5 GHz version is V/H.

 

I believe the 3 GHz version is +/- 45 degree, although I don’t remember now if 
the SM is also.

For those of you who don't have to deal with it, whatever it's called, this is 
what us flatlanders have to put up with.At the top of the pipe, the radio 
would only get a maximum of -76, at it's current height, it's at -59.  All 
happened last week when that hayfield grew.  Signal was fine before then, and 
it steadily lost signal all last week.  (It is LOS to the tower, the tower is 
just directly in line with the pipe in the picture)
