Well it all started about a year ago and has literallytaken months to accomplish, but the wireless internet tower is up AND running! When D. Dawson stopped by way back when I was like "hell yeah" we're interested - We had to apply and appease the town, mostly just a formality, but one dissenter came to the ZBA meeting-- "It's going to interfere with my view from camp!"
Then we needed to get a building permit for the erectionon the antenna, no issue's since we had town approval's in place. Back in October, we received and assembled everything, with the Internetof standing it up before the holidays- That didn't happen, D. Dawson was running low on capital and a couple key hardware pieces got back-ordered - No he's not receiving Stimulusor Grant funds for this, he's taking out of his OWN pocket - Kind of the old fashion way! Why, because State, Federal and even some Economic Building Non-Profits have been holding meetings and promisig us this would happen for YEARS!
We have an 86' tower in the Lodge's side yard with a 10' omni-directional whip on top,, one sector receiver and one sector transmitter, so that we can share the fun with our neighbors out to about 5 miles in fact! This week we're going out to test signal strength in key locations!
Well now Mr C., after we stood it up, I walked down to your camp 1k' away and less than have the distance from here to there I lost sight of it and standing in your camp's driveway you have absolutely no visibility on the antenna. Or, the Lodge for that matter as I said back at the ZBA meeting.
It has been so long since I've had a fast connection, I am almost like a kid on Christmas morning too!
