[BC] STL Options

[Mark W Earle]

We had a LOS path at ~950 Mhz, 5w transmit, about 200' 7/8", roof mounted
4' dish. That was 180'. Receive end was about 150' up the tower, 6' dish.

Path was 10.8 miles. You could SEE the tower without optics, and SEE the
TX building with binocs - there was nothing in the way at all, terrain or
other buildings. 

Many, many, mornings we'd fade out, and then spanish language from a
station 200 miles north of us would come in. We finally solved it by
using a dish 15' off the ground mounted on the ice bridge. We also got
the leased lines hooked up and switchable via the remote control. 

When we took over, the remote wiring was.. interesting, to put it mildly.
Spent several days ripping it all out, and re-doing it. Still have the
spread sheets somewhere.
