[MVMA] NC8Q<>MVHS link musings

[Chuck Gelm]

Kewel!

  I believe my biggest obstacle is my low antenna height.
By observing the existing links on he local mesh, I notice
nodes => 65 feet agl do well. Nodes <= 40 feet usually
do poorly. I have antennas at 40' agl and it takes a dish
at both ends to get adequate signal for a link. For me,
the dish at both ends requirement rules out any
omni-directional antenna testing. YMMV.
