Was my actual Omni which snapped in half, not the mounting.
It was an ex-demo unit or something which Cisco donated and had been snapped
open to show the innards off to people I believe. It was then rebuilt using
electrical tape. During the 100km/hr++ winds in Sydney a few weeks back it
must have just wiggled around enough that it slipped out of the electrical
tape.

I have now "fixed" it. By using more electrical tape this time.

Only a temporary measure as I'm going back to back 180 degree waveguides as
soon as we get them machined.
