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.

You might try running a continuity test with your voltage meter.

Unless all of your grounds are bonded together - You stand the risk of
causing your own nightmares due to the difference in potential across the 2
different grounding systems. Make sure everything is bonded together as 1
single grounding system.

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.

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

Solar activity is often blamed for trouble. And it sure could be. I've

While possible, there's one thing that just makes that sound really weird.
We're using Trango gear as
Let me say that the pricing mentioned for the 2.4 gear is single unit

If thermal changes could effect the signal then that would make sense
though I do not recall seeing this for shots as short as we are running
in the higher frequency bands we are using. I always looked at thermal
effects as being a consequence only in the lower (VHF and below) bands.
In my past
Thats 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.

Hello Brian,
It's thermal related I'm betting. We lost a link last night briefly.
Signal levels drop as the thermal layer changes.

I like Tom's idea. Just replace one site, with other gear. Trango,
