Has it been windy lately?

We personally had a dish mounted on a pipe that didn’t have a set screw
(installer mistake) and on a windy day it rotated almost 90*.  Luckily it
was in a very rural area so it didn’t interfere, but around Chicago it
would have caused lots of issues.

If the operator isn’t sending a lot of data or uses the link as a backup
they might not notice right away.

Could also be one of the yahoos who buys a mimosa or ubiquiti link and just
installs with out licensing the link because they are irritant idiots.

SAF makes an inexpensive and very useful spectrum analyzer. Sounds like a
good time to buy one and do some war driving.
