Hello,

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.

The link between CapitolPeak and BawFaw continues to have 16dB swings, 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.

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.

Thanks,

--Bart
