Well heck, if you want the ultimate in strength, use solid steel round bar
then. I've got some tower sections like that but man are they heavy!
Bars are for transfer of materials too - when they're serving that is! Saved
that one for you Bob =P

Anyone peer with Cogent in St Louis? Goods? Bads? Have heard mostly
positive but real-world feedback would be great.

I believe WISPerISP (or something like that) has a Cogent pipe (in
addition to others) out of St. Louis. Might want to hit them up to ask.

Right, my example was only to envision the type or size of pole being used, as
say opposed to a direct bury mono-pole that is familiar to many of us and way
too large for this application.

i know you're in the St. Louis area, so maybe you have experience with
them there. All carriers have their good and bad POPs\towns.
Cogent may or may not peer with many other carriers in St. Louis,
forcing off-net traffic through Chicago or Dallas, adding a several ms

That is certainly always a concern, but their number of peers is
increasing tremendously.

I like wooden power poles a lot, their exactly my bucket truck height
and are under $1000 buried, they don't need to be guy wired and they mix
in with surroundings. I go to Electrical companies to have them put
in. If you have a relationship with the power company they can help too.

Cogent is the Family Dollar/Dollar General/$1 store of bandwidth
providers. It¹s cheap, they have a decent network and have quite a number
of servers on Cogent bandwidth. This means a good deal of web traffic is
headed toward cogent without much return. The Big players tolerate this

Does anyone use this equipment or have experience in using this equipment?
With Canopy/UBNT/MikroTik we have pretty much set the standard for QoS

I had some links like that when we used waverider but it was on sectors with

There is no coax and the antenna is directly grounded to the antenna -
pretend it is a one-piece unit instead of two pieces.
Also - the actual transmitted (rf element) is inside the radio. The rest
is just a wave guide channeling the RF out and amplifying it. Nothing
