Good job!

Well,
There was only a desert floor of dirt between me and the AP about 4
miles away. Not even any houses to speak of. There were no metal
roofs directly in the way. There WAS a very large steel building
perpendicular to me about 40 feet away. Also, within 2 miles, there's
grain silos scattered around that could cause a reflection. It was
either this or it was right at the edge of Fresnel effects.
SOLUTION?
I changed to a CPE with a higher gain (Deliberating 15dbi). I think
the tighter antenna pattern acted like "blinders" to the out of phase
signals.
I did not have to move the installation point. 70's db. All is well.
Thanks everyone, for your encouraging input.
Jason
PS. I'm keeping an eye on it...

This happens a lot with metal roofs in the way. 10 feet over, around
the mentioned building we go from -90 to -65

You're seeing normal RF behavior. Simply mount the antenna where the
signal is the strongest then use your network monitoring system to keep
an "eye" on it.

Everyone,
I had trouble during an install today regarding signal strengths.
2.4Ghz CPE in a location that should be no problem. Moving the CPE two
feet in any direction from the point where the CPE was installed
increased the signal by around 20db (-90 to -70!)
Any idea of what phenomenon I am dealing with?
Anything I should consider as I correct this install?
