Anything on an antenna element will change the antenna's resonance. This translates to different (usually poorer) performance. Translated to the old CB lingo of the 70' "Yore SWRs are too high" ;-)

I have one 900 mhz ap and one client. When I first set up this client, we were decidedly NOT LOS and it goes through a few pine and fir trees. I"m not sure that is only what is in the way. Possibly a bit of dirt, too. For some reason, I appear to have HUGE changes in RSSI. It appears when we get to around 28 or so, or below, the signal comes up to what it was when we installed. That is, around -80 to -85. When it gets warm, it appears to fall into the mid -90's... or, basically not working. Will wet snow on Pac Yagis cause signal loss? Does frozen snow on trees block less than wet (melting?) snow on trees? I'm really frustrated with this particular setup, as we've had NOTHING but trouble... +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ neofast.net - fast internet for North East Oregon and South East Washington email me at mark at neofast dot net 541-969-8200 Direct commercial inquiries to purchasing at neofast dot net -- WISPA Wireless List: [email protected] Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/ -- WISPA Wireless List: [email protected] Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
