There is a small, but growing group here that have identified
some links that will work well at 13 cm. They are short links,
on the order of 2 - 6 km. Gear has been chosen, and some
has been ordered for trial over the longest link. Once that is
proved out gear will be purchased for the other links.
We also have a small number of "long haul" links that we
are looking into, from 10 to 50 km. All are "true line of sight".
Have done path loss and required ERP calculations, now
we are considering what gear would be lowest cost :-)
I expect at least a month before the first links are in place.
We have a few other very short links we might do soon,
they are less than 1 km. As usual the issue is money.
