According the the coverage map, I am in a zone rated at -55 to -60. Would a 3.5in diameter wave-guide antenna be sufficient from 3.5 miles away, w/ great LoS? If not, would an 18in dish work?

Thanks for the feedback.

It should work. I just tried to log into the Bruno site and it seems to be down. My network monitoring software didn't alert me to this fact. It looks like it has been down since Sunday, 27 July 2003 at 13:40. Sigh. Time to make a trip to Bruno.

Shoot... I see what happened. We changed our SSID's at IA/UL and it wasn't updated on Bruno. Curse the person doing the work... Easy fix. Should be today or tomorrow.

From an AlamedaWireless member's rooftop we couldn't pick up san bruno either, but should be in the -75/-80 range. We were using a 100mW card and a 24dBi and were able to pick up many SF nodes, including SFLAN nodes, but no luck with BARWN. Seems odd, is there an obstruction on the tower?
