In between the rain this weekend, I did some more testing with HamWAN from my home in Marysville. My "test stand": * MikroTik RB912UAG5HPnDOT * Altelix AD5G30M2 antenna kit * 10 foot mast on a small 3 foot tripod, from deck of backyard I was able to get a connection (do some pings, visit some http sites), but it was a bit intermittent with the wind swaying the dish on the mast. If I decide to mount permanently, I'll need to find a way to attach the top part of the mast near the house to minimize the movement. Best results were: [admin@N7CS] > /interface wireless scan 0 Flags: A - active, P - privacy, R - routeros-network, N - nstreme, T - tdma, W - wds, B - bridge ADDRESS SSID CHANNEL SIG NF SNR RADIO-NAME ROUTEROS-VERSION A RT B 64:D1:54:95:C4:7F HamWAN 5920/5/an -71 -124 53 K7WAN/SnoDEM-S1 A RT B 64:D1:54:6A:65:A8 HamWAN 5900/5/an -83 -123 40 K7WAN/SnoDEM-S2 -- [Q quit|D dump|C-z pause] As the wind would blow, the SIG numbers would jump into the -90's for a moment and then come back. Ping times to google.com were between 90-500+ ms. I'll keep doing some experiments with different placements to see if I can get an improved signal when I can find a sunny weekend. In the meantime, just wanted to say thanks to the all the people that have been answering my questions over the past few months. Regards, Burt J. Guillot, N7CS
