Wonder what the play is there. How long will gas prices stay this low?
And how low will they go? Saudi Arabia is in the drivers seat for now.
Russia and a few of the OPEC nations are getting it in the shorts.
Someone will blink. I'm betting that gas will turn around in 3-6 months.

The old joke - what's the best price of oil for OPEC? $100, $100,
$100, $50, $100.
When the price drops to $50 it kills all of the speculative drilling and
investment in alternative energy, and then OPEC raises the price back

I think six come on a pallet. Sitting on two pallets now I suppose.
I have one 16 mi link running a consistent 96 meg up/down at 30mhz and a 5
mile link running 5.7/5.4 70 down 30 up. These links are rock solid, no
problems.
Remainder of the links, from 3 miles to 10, can't get worthwhile
The only pair I have is running from the NOC to a nearby core site at
3.4 miles. FDD, 20MHz Rx, 30MHz Tx. DFS. Must use 2.2-beta3 or you will
have radar issues.
They are currently at -70 to -71dBm on all chains. Mostly 6x Tx, 8x Rx.
Currently about 220x180Mbps. I do not get the sub-1ms
I've been doing this enough years (decades?) that it seems like I should
know this, but I'm having a brain-dead moment. Must be all the eggnog.
I have an Airfiber 24 link. One end has a solid signal of -50/-50, and
the other end varies around -53/-53 to as much as -55/-55. Which end is
Same tx power on either side? If so it's hard to say, but you can look at
