They're 2ft dishes on each end. The link is working great, too. It hits 240Mbit line rate at times, and I've seen it push > 100Mbit of real data over that. --Bart On 10/7/2015 9:50 PM, Steve wrote:
How big of a dish do you have between haystack and Queen Ann?

Hello,
I went up to Haystack yesterday and replaced the failed modem there. The link between Haystack and SnoDEM (Snohomish County Department of Emergency Management / "Paine") is back up at a decent signal level. We have a trip scheduled to SnoDEM for Oct 15th @ 5:00PM to better align two dishes there, including this SnoDEM-Haystack dish, which was originally aligned with Monroe.
Now despite this good news, the link between Westin and Queen Anne (which ultimately feeds Haystack) is suffering due to Amazon Fade, and it's only gonna get worse as the building is completed further and occupied. We may need to re-aim the main Haystack uplink dish at a site different than Queen Anne. No firm plan on this yet, but East Tiger might be an option. Another option might be a new site on Capitol Hill that I'll be doing a signal test at on Saturday.
Lots of activity lately.
