Hi Bob, Short is relative to rain zone
In your world, where rain isn't that much of a problem -- it's nice to have 18 GHz to go 8+ miles on a 2' dish However, go to East TX or LA, and in those rain zones, being able to use something smaller for 5 miles would be nice That said, now that someone has gotten a 2.5' dish accepted for 11 GHz, A fight over 0.5' of antenna, IMO, isn't that big of a deal, a better fight would be to allow 3-4' dishes for 6 GHz -Charles ------------------------------------------- WiNOG Wireless Roadshows Coming to a City Near You http://www.winog.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob Moldashel Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2007 9:21 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] FCC requests comment on smaller dishes for 11 GHz 11 Ghz.........Short distance hops.........NO There is spectrum for short hops. There is spectrum for medium hops. There is even spectrum for long hops. 11 Ghz. is not appropriate for short hops. Not when there is 18, 23, 24, 38, 60 and 80 Ghz. Even smack in the center of NYC I can get higher channels to do what is needed for short hops. There is no reason to use 11 Ghz. period for short hops... -B- -- 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/
