This is a fantastic idea. I have a situation where I need to make a 24
mile shot, and the tower owner already has 5 Ghz stuff on it and is
reluctant to let me put 5 GHz equipment up. 6 GHz would be sweet, but I
could probably use antennas smaller than 6 ft.

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. Or
the building owner doesn't want such large antennas etc.
Certainly for something that just shoots a mile or three up the road
it's a tough rule to deal with.
I'm not exactly sure how to go about it but I've got the name of the
person at the FCC that'll help us if we'd like to request a rule change.
I'd like to suggest that we push for elimination of the 6' antenna
rule for the 6 gig band. If people are worried about undue
interference in the band due to the wider beam antennas we could toss
out an APC (automatic power control) requirement to use smaller antennas.
Thoughts?
