   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.

   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).
