Hello,<br>
<br>
I'd like to get some suggestions for a rugged Power-over-Ethernet IP
weather station that would survive a winter on a tower. I'd
primarily like to collect wind speed + direction data.<br>
<br>
The link between CapitolPeak and BawFaw continues to have <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://monitoring.hamwan.net/cacti/graph.php?action=view&local_graph_id=881&rra_id=all">16dB
swings</a>, and we're running out of ideas to explain it. We've
verified it's a line-of-sight clear shot (no trees swaying into the
path), so the current theory is that perhaps steady wind levels are
pushing both dishes just slightly off-aim.<br>
<br>
If you're confused by the graph: the large jump between the 12th and
13th is when we moved the link from a sector to a dish. There seems
to be less signal variance with the dish-to-dish link, but still
enough that it's not normal. At least we have fade margin now.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
