[Elecraft] OT Powerline Wifi extenders

[Josh Fiden]

I ran 50’ CAT5 with POE to the propane tank where the ubiquity link radio was hung. That’s maybe 80-90’ from my 6m EME array and heard nothing. The CAT5 was due north so not a direction the array was ever pointed and I didn’t go looking for trouble! But I’m pretty quiet, on a good day with some elevation radio is at S0 with preamp on. 

No idea how consistent their power adapters are or if they’ve changed suppliers.
