Nothing magic about our designs, we have good test data but most importantly we 
do a very heavy duty hot dip galvanization.  They ought to last forever.

you should do that, sell the license to the design on a per unit basis at your 
profit margin without production cost. I would bet people would be pretty 
honest, the ones who wouldnt already bought one mtow and took it to a fabricator

  Or were you serious?  If I have access to machine tools can I make licensed 
knockoffs of M-TOW?

      i cant wait til 3d printers do galavanized steel. mccown tech can 
eliminate the hateful vendors, just purchase a 3 unit license from the website 
and install your mtow

        Sounds like 3D printing is the direction people are going for one-offs.

          When I was building slotted waveguide antennas for our network, we 
needed a way to seal up the slots so the rain wouldn't fill the antennas faster 
than a weep hole could drain it. I found that 3M made some heat shrink tubing 
that just fit over the size of tubing I was using. After heat shrinking the 
stick, we would dip the ends in "plastidip". Never had a leak. I wonder if you 
just needed to hand make a couple dipole or patch array antennas, if dipping 
them in plastidip wouldn't be a decent option. Obviously it would be labor and 
time intensive for production, but for a couple one-offs, why not?

            Yup.  They have an array of metal circles on a board connected to 
each other by traces.

            What about a cheaper external antenna?  The price to beat is $120.

              Yeah, that will be an array of patches inside.  Hard to couple to 
with any efficiency.

              Like a 45 slant 15dbi panel.
              a 10" x 10" diamond with flattened corners.

                I want to narrow the radiation pattern on Wimax CPE in order to 
reduce interference.  Higher gain is a bonus, but mostly I want to tune out 
interference from other base stations and thereby improve CINR.

                Right now all I've got is I can put an external antenna on with 
coax jumpers.  A dish with a significantly narrower pattern than the integrated 
panel is $120-$140 from KP Performance, plus the cost of the coax jumpers and 
the labor to seal them.

                I'm really missing the Canopy stingers and reflectors right 
now.  If I could slip something on for $50 I'd be all over it like white on 
rice.  I'd also just settle for a cheaper external antenna.

                Any brilliant ideas?
