I like this method of uptime calculation rather than the old methods commonly 
used.

Subject: [AFMUG] 80ghz reliability in Rain 

One of our distributors is trying to push us into an 80ghz link for a 
1.7 mile hop. Siklu says that 2' dishes on each side will have no rain 
problems in our Rain zone 'K'. I have trouble believing that. Our AF24 
link that is in place now Fades during rain events. An AF60 link we 
have at 0.4 miles also fades. What are real world experiences with 80ghz? 

How hard is it to align 80ghz dishes, especially at that distance? We 
once had to align a 24ghz 3' Trango dish that had no fine adjustments, 
and it took almost 2 hours because the signal would change with every 
turn of the UBolt. Same with the AF60 radio, but that mount bracket is 
a pile of garbage anyway. I see they sell a fine adjustment bracket for 
the AF60 now.
