   Hi Johann Beretta,   
      
   Usenet is a potluck - where everyone brings what value they can, to share.   
      
   to that end, I could tell, instantly, that you had more you could share   
   than most people here (and we already know about Jeff Liebermann, who   
   happens to live near where I am, who also knows a lot about this stuff).   
      
   This is great information that you are fully aware of the WiFi power of the   
   type of equipment that we've been trying to discuss here as adults.   
      
   What brand do you mostly prefer in your WISP business?   
   o And what specific model of radios?   
      
   Here, near where Jeff Liebermann lives (other side of the hill), we all   
   started with the bullets, and then we trashed them for the nano's, which we   
   trashed for the 2.4 GHz rockets, and then, finally, we're kind of happy on   
   the 5GHz rockets.   
      
   Less noise for sure.   
      
   Since we remove the "old stuff", we end up with a lot of Mikrotik   
   equipment, but we're mostly Ubiquiti.   
      
   How about you?   
   o What brand/model equipment do you prefer to erect on rooftops, and why?
