[WISPA] 6 foot 6ghz antenna rule

Hi All, For those that don't know, the 6 gig band is licensed ptp only. It's a pretty cheap license and you can get a LOT of throughput for very long distances. For short (less than 50 miles :-) the 6' antenna requirement often kills the deal because of size limits on what towers can handle

I'd not be afraid of trying that with a ptp link.  Try swapping in bigger and bigger antennas till you get your 10 to 20 dB of fade margin (not more, you'll pick up more multipath that way) and see how it does.   Marlon(509) 982-2181   Equipment sales(408) 90
