I had to share this - it was as funny as I have encountered in a while. I have had several customers cut down trees, all we had to do was point to the ones that needed to go, but this one took the cake. We were on a roof - he had cut a hole in two trees for us so we could see out. There was an area of trees about 20yards from the house. Two of them were about 60ft tall and the other two were at least 40ft tall. We could see the AP with the radio - but the signal was at the very end of where the radio would connect. I told him there was no way we could hook him up. He said hold on - those trees could go. I figured he would tell me he would saw them down. The next thing I know - he was on his dozer, knocking the trees down! I could not believe it. In less than 10 minutes all 4 trees were lying on the ground - and we had a good link. We go back to install him next Tuesday. Some people will do anything for internet.

Blue Ridge, TX | Sounds like my wife's grandad. He has a huge diesel cat dozer and uses any excuse he can do drive it (hey, I would too!) We just had him clear a ton of trees off our land for our house. |

| I have come across this very same thing with a couple of the local sodbusters. Their wives want to keep the trees and they have the D-8 warming up. Theoretically, if you could have cut a round hole through those trees at 20 yards what would its diameter have to be? Or how wide would the path have to be? |

For a 2.0 mile link using the 2.4 GHz 60% of the first fresnel zone at its widest point (middle of the path) is: 19.7453981980612 feet.
60% of the first fresnel zone at the .02 mile point is: 3.92928462954772 feet. |
