When the weather goes bad we don't do outside work. Some times of the year that gets to be a real issue.
But what I've found is that if we install gear when we can't see we too often end up with something (trees etc.) in the way. The other thing I've done is lay a stick or something like that out 50ish yards from the tower in the direction that the antenna needs to go. Then when I get back to the site I can at least get things close on installation day. marlon ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Nash To: WISPA General List Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2010 8:16 AM Subject: [WISPA] PtP Dish Alignment Question: What tools do you use to blindly put up the first end of a ptp without having a visual on the other side? Details: When deploying ptp dishes... One team doing both ends at different times. The first dish must be aligned without a connecting radio at the other end. We know how to get uptilt/downtilt/azimuth from Radio Mobile. Uptilt/downtilt is easy to do with a simple gauge. Azimuth is a different story. If you can see the site that you're aiming for, no big deal, but what if you can't? We have a number of backhaul upgrades to do in the next few months, and we have alot of fog here in the mornings this time of year. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
