I understand, and I've been there before... however, now when we buy anything (new router, core switch, backhaul, etc.) we always buy a "spare" as part of the purchase price. If we can't afford the spare, we don't buy the original part.

Josh,

You may want to consider having "spares" of this equipment on hand for
future problems. We keep enough spares to replace an entire tower
      
(licensed
    
backhaul, AP's, UPS, rebooters, etc.) in our tower truck, and we still
      
have
    
enough extra stuff at the office for more repairs if needed.

Tom at Roc Noc got me taken care of.  13 hours of driving later I got
my units ready to be placed on the tower tomorrow.

Tom - once again, thank you very very much.

I am going to sleep for a couple hours and then fix this catastrophe.

P.S. someone crashed and died in the fog just west of Richmond.  My
heart goes out to their family and friends.

So I wake up with thunder shaking the house and 3 minutes later, text
messages start blowing up my phone.  I lost two out of three AN50 ODUs
and 3 of 3 433ah boards.  Two Trango 5800 APs survive (though one
needed a new poe).  The 493 concentrator/switch lost some ports, too.

If anyone has mobile numbers for anyone at Roc Noc or Quicklink
Wireless I would greatly appreciate you providing me (offlist) with
getting a hold of them.

I'm about 2 hours from Quicklink and 6 hous from Roc Noc.

If anyone knows of a MikroTik vendor near south west Ohio besides
these two I would appreciate knowing about them, too, and would love
to get a hold of them this weekend.
