900 MHz reminds me of the Yogi Berra quote:  “Nobody goes there any more, it’s 
too crowded”

We still have one of the MTI surfboards up on a tower serving one customer we 
cant get with anything else, theyre content with their 3mbps

 

I have no idea how that surfboard has survived the windstorms over the last 
decade

We used those stingers:  Both 900MHz and the 2.4Ghz passive with the reflector 
on top.  I had two boxes the size of Amazon return pallets full of those things 
in my warehouse when we took a bunch down.

Remember how tall the 900MHz sectors were???  Like 7-8 feet tall . . .

the 2.4 stinger is how i found out wbmfg was a solid company. I didnt know shit 
back then. I put one on expecting massive numbers and just wasnt seeing much 
(turns out i was seeing what I was supposed to). I called about it, you almost 
beat me up through the phone trying to get the units back to get on your bench 
to figure out what was wrong with them and had already shipped replacements

Today we took down a long dead Cambium 9000APC from a tower.  I looked at it 
and went “what is that”?  The antenna was a KPP sector and I was expecting the 
AP to be attached to the back of the sector.

 

I had forgotten that the FSK APs looked just like SMs.  I guess partly because 
I mostly deployed Cyclones.

 

I do remember the 900 MHz SMs with Chuck’s Stingers on top, connected with a 
coax cable.
