Clearly you don't do this for a living.
That is an absolutely correct assessment.

By the way, I officially retired on Sept 30, 2020. The office is
closed, the bank accounts emptied, and much of the equipment donated
or sold.


Congratulations. You'll now enjoyably find everything you knew
disappainting or being replaced by new kids on the block. I don't see
any of those filling your shoes here and I usually only bother to lurk
to see what you are posting.

You can advise the OP better than I on potential Fresnel Zone issues, as
he's apparently asking how best to paint a LOS location 800 feet away with
the transceiver on a pole I believe.

You can run the math to explain to him how high that pole may need to be.
(We do that stuff by trial and error - but you may know the math better.)



I've run cantenna line-of-site over 400m reliably for years. I didn't
measure the fresnel zone but a farmer's apple tree in his front must
have encroached the signal line every few years and he would kindly
lop a few branches, restoring normal service. I have a note of the
speeds somewhere but the system gave me office access from home, home
broadband via the office and all I remember is that the Wi-Fi speed
was better than the rather poor broadband speed available at the end
of a long exchange line.

After moving several years ago from the little hamlet (60 properties)
the pathetic broadband (I think I had one of the best connections at
2mbps) was replaced by FTTP. I don't think I could have got mi Wi-Fi
signal to keep up with the resulting 80Mbps broadband. Those we now
Zoom with in that hamlet are always very clear and no blurring motion
issues - I'm somewhat jealous.

(UK in case any folk are struggling to understand any terminology or
words).
