Running an 11GHz, 16+ mile shot. I'm getting 277 Mbps on a single 40MHz wide channel (you could use an 80 or a doubled 40 to get over 500 Mbps). It works great when the weather's nice, but the rain fade is a monster. Anytime a giant storm parks itself between the two sides for 30-60 minutes, then i

So we inherited this 80; Rohn 55 type guyed tower that needs to be replaced… Its currently installed on a State Forest area, so building a new one besides it (new foundation) seems next to imposible (permit wise). I was thinking of ways to build one over the existing one… Any ideas? Gino Vil

Yeah, I really don't trust them that much either, but they're certainly useful for getting an idea of how different areas compare. Things will certainly work differently in Utah than they do for us in southern Wisconsin/northern Illinois. On Thu, Feb 9, 2017 at 9:53 AM, Mike Hammett wrote: > Ass

It may not be a rain forest, but it's not a desert either... there's going to be a big difference between rainzones K and B. According to Mimosa's design tool, the Rain Fade in Utah would only be around 17db, which should make 15 miles easily doable at 11ghz. On Wed, Feb 8, 2017 at 9:54 PM, Ken Ho

We have quite a fancy power meter installed by our powerco. So we can see how much we actually feed back to the grid - which is very minimal. Most of our system is used to offset our consumption. How is that different than installing led bulbs or choosing to open a window vs turn on the a/c? Now
