Can someone prove or disprove that this actually works and is not some anomoly from bouncing off the mountain? Passive repeaters might work, but it just doesn't seem right. > > If you can get above the trees using towers or pole-mounted antennas, that > would probably be better. > If you can't beat them, join them, we are contimplating pole mounting sector and high power omni's in trees. Besides getting the signal up high, we are more likley to stay off the zoning boards radar. The smallest beam size I've seen is 8deg, so a foor sway should not bother it too much at 3+ miles.
