[BC] STL Options

[Mike McCarthy]

Barry is right. We're doing a 30 mile hop using Moseley 9002's and a 
pair of 8ft. grid dishes and a clear 0.6 fresnel zone. Plenty of 
signal. However, we have severe fading in the summer during the 
morning.  We are installing a 2nd diversity dish/receiver later this 
year to combat that problem.

The longer the hop, the greater the chance of fading and a diversity 
receiver being needed.  That applies to anything above 500 Mhz.
