Only saw it at our one site (Black Mountain), which is an RF smorgasbord
to begin with. After talking to our tower manager, we suspect that it
was creating some weird intermod interference. This site has 7 sectors
covering all 360°, and is using ~~ 110 MHz of spectrum (spread around
with guard bands). We had interference on sectors as low as 5725
(centered on 5735), and as high as 5845 (centered on 5835) covering over
180° of azimuth. Did not make sense that it was a point source of
interference, and there was nothing happening on site.

I have a sector not 50 miles from you Bill, that the closest customer
is 30 miles and the farthest is 44 miles the best signal is -76 worst
-84 (I'm sure this is 10db off what you call challenging?) and didn't
see a single issue

We started losing subs on 4 of 7 sectors in 5 GHz today right
about the time this thing was hitting. This happens to be on a
site where the RF conditions are challenging anyway. I was
baffled until our tower manager sent me this story.
