Well, among us real old timers, who remember Heathkits, they were
probably the first to have a Cantenna. Probably even a trademark. It
was basically a gallon can filled with resistors and oil -- a one
kilowatt peak power dummy load, used for tuning up big HF transmitters.
One hopes the current cantennas do not work that way.

I had a customer cancel our service a few weeks ago in a town an hour
away from me. My billing lady got the impression that she was going to
use her 4G service. She lives out of town a mile where we are the only
WISP or service around, aside from satellite or cell service. Our
equipment was laying by her house as she was away for the day when we
were there, but stated that the new equipment was mounted in our old
spot. So my tech took this picture and it said Cantenna on the bottom
of it. Its not like the Cantenna I have seen in the past. I am real
positive that I do not have another WISP in the area. Do some WISPS
use these devices? The closest business is a John Deere dealership,
and I am fairly certain their IT would not allow external usage of
their network, and all of the houses in the area use our service.
Anyways just curious if any one had any ideas of what they could be
using this for. I have had other customers cheat WiFi from their
neighbors with different Cantennas, but I would use a UBNT device to
re-distribute the service, if that's whats going on
thanks
