We are setting up AREDN for the first time in my town, we aquired a site on a mountain that has a 75ft tower where we are installing a 120 degree sector.

Man, that's fantastic. How far is the link, and what frequency did you go with? Please keep me updated on the progress. 👍🏻

@@arednog The link is about 6 miles to my house but we have tested it out to 15 miles using another rocket and dish with very good results, channel 182 5GHz 20mhz channel width.
