Properly used, there is nothing wrong with amps...

To overcome 250ft of cable loss, for example.

I was installing Redline links and Alvarion WiMax sectors on rooftops in downtown Washington DC last week and had similar winds too.

Something just sorta weird about telling someone to “shoot it just to the left of the Capitol”  or “Aim it at the Washington Monument”.

 

Very sorry to hear of your loss.

Also very GLAD that you are not putting that amplifier back on.

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?

Blair

Those that are on grain elevators to start.. 

 

Coming from a Fire and EMS background - if i can get NEMA i will 

 

seen to many reason why it is worth it.

NEMA is over rated…………..  Who cares about safety and intrinsically sealed, anyhow.?

Excellent, Rickesha! 

 

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!
