The size of the sector isn't as bad as I thought it would be, it's smaller than the UBNT 900mhz sector we have on one of our towers.
WAV had them in stock last week, and I know at least one other distributor had them as well... whether or not anyone has any left now, I don't know. But I have one sitting here which wasn't pre-ordered, so taking until January to fill the pre-orders isn't true of all the distributors.
