We had a stinger that got filled with ants once. I thought the SM had
gone bad, but when I pulled it down, it seemed to have extra weight. Not
sure why the ants decided to take up residence, and I don't remember
what happened that they got in. I think they came up through the gap
around the SM case, or at least that's what I remember.

I did have a couple SuperStingers that stopped working in winter and
were really heavy when the techs took them off. They had filled up
with water and turned into blocks of ice.
I think at the time Chuck said there was a problem with the thermal
welding process or something like that.
It was nice in the FSK days to send a tech out for an install or
repair with just one radio. Then use it bare or with a Stinger,
SuperStinger, reflector dish, or “big dish” to get the antenna gain
you needed.

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.
