This last week has been h*ll. Haven't had time to even read the
lists til now...
My main dist tower took a direct lighting strike Sunday night.
Destroyed 4 5.8GHz sectors... my 2.4GHz horz omni... my 2.4GHz vert
omni...
Destroyed 4 rouerboard 532A... 5 xr5... xr2... RFLinx 2400DTX
250ft of LMR-400 is now vented every 5-7 feet. about 1000ft of
Beldon 1300A blown apart at every wire tie.
A K6-III based TurboCell controller ... POE's, UPS, switch...
Batterys.
The ONLY thing that survived was my HyperLink 5.8GHz 30db dish.
The only good thing is that I was planning on completely rebuilding
this location at the end of November...
So, we get the 802.11 stuff and the 5.8GHz stuff back on-line by
Monday night. Turbocell... not gonna happen. Was planning on
moving it all to 5.8GHz
Tuesday... 50mph+ I ain't going up a 25G or a six step in that...
Wednesday... Gusts over 80mph... now we can't even get on roofs!
Thursday... 40mph+ roofs. lad I do 2 man crews... ladder blown
off several times...
Friday... Tower climbs and more climbs... knocked off at 9pm...
back at it in the am... we will be busy til tuesday...
...
Tell me again why we do this?

Those that are on grain

Coming from a Fire and
EMS background - if i can get NEMA i
will
seen to many reason why
it is worth it.

[WISPA] BIG
WIND!
All
doing good, sounds like.
Too bad the cable and
electric companies are
having such issues.
We
had a bunch of high winds
and a tornado southwest of
here but not a glitch with the
network - sent those
your way Bob :)
Hope
you fellow
Midwesterners are
faring well with this
major pain in the butt
wall of WIND making
its way across the
states.
We had winds clocked
at 85mph and a so-so,
mini-tornado/micro-burst
about
a mile from one of my
gateways. Tore up
lots of “stuff”
but thankfully the
only thing I lost was
power. The handy
thing was, this
is a gateway that I
moved and upgraded
from solar to grid
power (But STILL
hadn’t put in a
battery backup……..
figures) but I
left the old solar
install in place in
case I ever needed it
(!) and just moved
my box from the new to
the old and all was
good. Could have been
worse
from the looks of the
damage it’s been
causing all over Ohio,
Indiana,
etc. I was just
shocked as heck to
find nothing damaged.
I guess
over engineering pays
off sometimes!
Passing
any of my luck to the
rest of ya!
(Sometimes
even a LOSER wins!!!
It’s String
Theory, happens. I’m
just sad cause I was
looking for a reason
to
get drunk.)
