That’s pretty much the direction I have always taken on them. The midwest humidity seems to add to the problem. Especially when the soils are dry but the humidity is high as it is right now. Rick Harnish President OnlyInternet Broadband Wireless, Inc. 260-827-2482 Office 260-307-4000 Cell

Since different people saw the same problem in multiple locations I would suspect a propagation problem, probably as a result of solar activity. Looking at this page shows some data http://www.n3kl.org/sun/noaa.html Thank You, Brian Webster -Original Message- From: John Scrivner

I know you really want to keep the existing gear. But it's really easy to run new cat5 up to the mount and be done with it. Just pull all the old crap down and go in with the new. Or do like we are. We're all wifi gear (well, mostly) and we'll run the outdoor radios indoors for those who

Run one #6 solid copper ground wire between all ground rods and tie them all together. Make sure the electrical supply ground rod is bonded to this. I would also suggest that you run a monitor test of the voltage at the location over time. Scriv Dan Metcalf wrote: I have several towers,

Thanks Harold! Guys, it seems to me that we should jump in bed with Continental on this issue. This same rule would certainly apply to mesh type systems or aps which have, thus far, not been covered under OTARD. Thoughts? Marlon (509) 982-2181 Equipment
