Just drop a nice AMP on there, couple hundred watts should do.  That way 
when he lands, you have lunch!

I have this stuff on one of my sites:

http://www.nixalite.com/PlasticSpike.aspx

Obviously want to use the plastic version rather than the metal ones. 
Who knows what the 1/4 wave frequency of the spikes are, but definitely 
don't need to take the chance.

[WISPA] buzzard attenuation?

2008-07-17 Thread chris cooper
We noticed some fairly significant packet loss on CPE associated with
one particular 900 Mhz cell this morning.  We went to several client
locations to trouble shoot. Everything, except the packet loss, looked
good.  When we went out to the cell site we found a few very large
buzzards parked on our antenna.  Im not sure how to calculate the
attenuation of a buzzard, but when we were able to persuade them to
leave all the packet loss cleared up.  This is definitely a first for
us.  Do anti-roost strips deter them?
