[MLB-WIRELESS] Setting up wireless NON LOS

[Mathew McKernan]

Hi all,

This is what I would do.

Extend the mast above the trees so it is viewable by the other antenna.
Slightly dip the antenna at the tree end downwards, and slightly upwards at
the end without the trees. I have had to do this at an installation a few
months back due to a large gum tree growing up into the "wave space".

Thanks

Mathew
