[WISPA] Should this happen? Probably not.
This is why we ask to beta certain products. This a 15dbi grid from Pac Wireless (Laird) whichever they are this year. This has been in service since 10/27/2007. The feedhorn rusted and snapped right off the grid. Granted it was maybe 100 yards from the shore, but this should not happen. http://.midcoast.com/~cam/15dbi Check out the pics -- Thanks, Cameron Kilton WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] Should this happen? Probably not.
this leads to a question from my side, being a new WISP. How often , if at all, do you folks do inspections of Tower Sites ? Customer Sites ? To determine and evaluate possible issues such as this and others ? Thanks.

Typical of antenna deterioration in a salt water environment. Try grounding them. There could be electrolysis occuring.

Re: [WISPA] Should this happen? Probably not.
Sounds like pretty wicked conditions for anything made of steel. Salt laden wind probably started the rusting process in 3 months or less on the thin metal of grid antennas. -Original Message- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Cameron Kilton Sent: Thursday, September 30, 2010 8:34 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Should this happen?
