Rick et al, is there a list of vendors who have donated to the lobbying
efforts? I would think vendors would be particularly interested in our
efforts. Perhaps some of the bigger vendors out there could match WISP
operator donations?

Yes please send that data as well. I have had quite a few others draw out
their state coverage by looking at other WISP's web sites and creating those
coverage polygons in Google Earth. If you could name each polygon with the
proper WISP name that helps me keep things organized.

Correct but then it still has to be converted from a paper map to a GIS

Just a scratch under 3 miles (2.97 with the distance tool). As always in my
area - damned trees. There a good 2 or 3 tree lines to the tower (lines,
not forests).
I do a lot of 2.4 through trees.
Not a forest of trees, but tree blockage just the same.
Easily 3 or 4 megs.
Like Travis says OFDM is amazing.
How far is your path and how much tree blockage do you have?

Hi,
Do you have any 2.4ghz spectrum available? With Mikrotik, assuming you
can get a good link, even 5mhz of spectrum will deliver 7Mbps. If you
have 10mhz available, you can do 15Mbps.
I think I even have a couple 2.4ghz Mikrotik radios that I would be
willing to configure and sell to you
I'm willing to try that, sure! Let me contact you off list.
