really good sales guy

we had a communication issue with the licensing coordination, was really 
something we should have been more clear on because of the clustered way our 
business structure is. but it ultimately resulted in a new FRN being created 
instead of the license going to our FRN. He took ownership of the issue and got 
it all squared away in no time. hes a rockstar. You see how many questions i 
fire off on this list, you can imagine what that poor bastard had to deal with 
with me having a direct line to him.

 

Daniel White from the list here filled in the gaps.

 

Im a SAF fanboy now

yeah, we are the PCN is -43 and we are -42/-41  Everything tests fine, 
speedtests are great, full capacity. I wouldnt be concerned if it had been hard 
to get the link up.

 

we did full H/V sweeps on both sides, then fine aligned as normal. I just 
expected it to be hard to find the link and somewhat easy to use it. on the 
sweeps we didnt see notable side lobe peaks. just strange.

 

Im really freaking happy with SAF on this though, great support from moonblink 
both pre and post sales, input from SAF sales and support directly, quick 
responses. I guess my only complaint is the product wasnt harder to use

If you got the signal the PCN states you're good to go.  You can also do a

yes.

you do understand my concern is that they linked up too easily? Im almost 
thinking we could have just laid the antennas on their sides and they still 
would have made a marginal link. If I werent so pessimistic I would be excited 
about this. Im concerned when the ground thaws or something everything will go 
batty

We have cut the traffic over to it.

madness we are a little better than the target after fine alignment. at one

Yeah, it was so considerate of AT&T to leave that dish up there when they sold 
off the site, only needed to be re-aimed about 2 degrees to go where we wanted. 
 And they built a platform to stand on while aiming it, that was awfully nice 
of them.  And they left the flexible waveguide down to the shelter.  I’d really 
hate to think about hanging a new 12 ft dish ourselves and running waveguide to 
it.  And it’s an Andrew parabolic, not the old WE horns, so we don’t have to 
worry about water getting into the waveguide and freezing.  It doesn’t even 
look like anyone has been using the lightning bolt logo for target practice.  
Life is good when someone abandons nice stuff you can use.

HPBW for a 12 ft dish at 11.2 GHz is 0.5 degree.

Nope, a 4 ft dish in 11 GHz should be pretty narrow, a few degrees and you 
should be into a deep, deep null.  Take a look at the beamwidth or pattern for 
your antenna.  It should be similar to an 8 ft dish in 5.x GHz.

 

We once used an existing 12 ft dish for an 11 GHz link and I kept having to 
tell the tower guy he was not going to be able to eyeball it.  The beamwidth 
was something like 1 degree if I remember right.  He ketp getting nada for 
signal until I made him slowly sweep the azimuth.

Weve never gone above 2' 

we finished installing our 11ghz link yesterday and had the antennas rough 
aligned, one side is 3' one side is 4'. I expected the tighter patterns would 
make it harder to find the initial link but they actually linked up right off 
the bat and it was right on the projected power levels.

This is only 10 miles, so we have visual on the path. 

We did a  little rough alignment yesterday, and will do the fine alignment 
today. when we we roughing it there was a good amount of travel on the antenna 
(4') side we were on and only a couple db change. do larger antennas on such a 
short path give you a little more leniency in alignment or something? we will 
do full horizontal and vertical panning today to make sure we arent in side 
lobes, just curious is there is more slop in this scenario.
