[amsat-bb] Re: More Clutter on 2.4 GHz

[joseph Murray]

Maybe I should put a couple of pence into this for what ever it's worth
For  the last four years I have had my ISP hook up via 2.4 gHz 
A Cisco 350 system over a 15 mile connect at 100 mw.
Weather has not been a factor.
I use a 36 inch vertically polarized dish .
50 feet of LMR 400 coax to the Cisco transceiver.
This is possible because the dish looks down a water shed where the fall
off 
is equal to at least 3 feet per mile.
That makes trees disappear so to speak.
All of this might be a bit unusual , but it is possible.

I also use 2.4 gHz for Sat TV extention 
3 systems using 433 mHz for data and control .
My shack is a separate building 50 feet behind the house.
The only interference I had on 2.4 gHz was when Santa provided a 
telephone remote that was a frequenncy hopper on 2.4 gHz.
I gave that back to Santa and asked for 900 mHz spread spectrum unit
No more interferrence.

And last, I live in a 150 person village 50 miles from all the big city
interferrence  
I see referred to here on the BB
