Yup, totally agree that's how you do a good booth. We do have
portable demo gear as well. Little 21dBi dishes with modems
dangling off em.<br>

Which dishes? Any suitable dishes available where the MikroTik

<br>
The little 21dBi guys still dangle. But, if you want
direct-attach, here are a couple options:<br>

Thanks! However, for portable use, I think I'm looking for
something with a little larger beamwidth, maybe 20-30 degrees.
Bill's list looks reasonable.<br>

the shipping on the larger (3ft) one, it can be a killer. The
smaller (2ft) one is reasonable though. You'll need a right-angle
N connector (supplied with 5SHPn) to fire up the H-pol. The 2ft
dish will have lower gain than the Poynting though, so beware.
The 3ft dish will have higher gain than Poynting.<br>

Wanna throw a better web site presentation together in this
regard? I can hook you up with editor access.<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
Yes.<br>
<br>

<br>
OK, what's your username on the website? Have you worked a
tikiwiki before? Perhaps install a copy locally to practice the
syntax/format/plugins/etc. Feel free to drop into #HamWAN for
real-time editing help.<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
I've used a wiki a small amount before. Probably the best thing is
to create an near-empty page for me to start in.<br>
<br>
I didn't know I had a username on the web site. If you are
referring to my name in the mailing list, it's "Dean Gibson AE7Q".<br>

What kind of speeds do you get on the Frontier? I heard they

<br>
I just did a test accessing CenturyLink's test page:<br>
<ul>
<li>Frontier FiOS: 25.6Mbps down, 12.0 up.</li>
<li>Comcast RG-6: 28.5Mbps down, 5.8 up.<br>
</li>
</ul>

<br>
Are those in-line with the advertised "service speeds"?<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
I think so.<br>
<br>
<blockquote cite="mid:5351DA14.5010004@bartk.us" type="cite"> BTW,
if you're doing Bill's request for Internet speed, feel free to
also do a /tool bandwidth-test to your next-hop for HamWAN.
That'll show where the slow-downs are. Either on the link to you,
or somewhere deeper in the network/Internet. You may have to open
the firewall some more to allow the right packets through for that
test. The bandwidth-test server on sector 2 is wide open, no
authentication required.<br>
