I just looked at the mwave website, and wow, they're one of the few in the world who make a 3'/90cm size 71-86 GHz antenna. Good for 80 GHz PTP stuff I guess, but having aimed more than a few 60cm size 80 GHz links, I bet that thing must have a really narrow center beam width.
So narrow that I bet it drifts off peak RSL considerably when one end of a link on a tall building sways in the wind, or tower steel expands/contracts with sunlight in the daytime.
