OK, I don't believe any of you cut down any trees on the 5.9GHz path to the SnoCo DEM near Paine field, but *something changed*: Starting about a week ago, the signal levels have increased about 6dBm. For the past several days I have had more or less a decent connection: status: connected-to-ess band: 5ghz-n-5mhz frequency: 5900MHz wireless-protocol: nv2 tx-rate: 2.2Mbps rx-rate: 1.5Mbps ssid: HamWAN bssid: D4:CA:6D:7A:B8:07 radio-name: Paine-S2 signal-strength: -84dBm signal-strength-ch0: -84dBm tx-signal-strength: -79dBm tx-signal-strength-ch0: -79dBm noise-floor: -118dBm signal-to-noise: 34dB This is in marked contrast to just two weeks ago, when I couldn't hold a connection at all (as was typical through the entire winter). Kenny, I thought you told me your connection has been poor lately. Have you checked in the past week? On 2015-02-17 13:36, Dean Gibson AE7Q wrote:

Now, if I can just get a couple of you to cut down some trees (not on my property) in the middle of the night, my appreciation would be unbounded ...
