Well, it is going to take us several months to go though red tape with them. We thought about it, but, we need to start getting customers and paying the bills :( Kinda a must. Our first tower, (errected at about 90 feet does work, but we don't get much in the way of coverge. We are hoping that we can drop our signal to the radio station and then distribute.
I think for now, even with what has been said, we are going to go up around 100-150 foot, make sure we are over the trees good, and then drop a 8db omni connected to a APPO. I dont' think that we can do anything else until we get cash coming in. There are quite a few houses and business's within 2 miles, and MORE than enough to overflow the single APPO within 5 miles. I am hoping I can get around 5 out of the omni to start off. After that, sectors will be coming in. maybe start off by dropping them Smartlink 180s in ??
