I have spent many hours laying on a tiled floor counting contour rings and
transfering points to curved graph paper too...

Ha ha, we did have a profile plot for dot matrix - probably based on
digitized data from 1:250,000 maps. We used to have a gigantic room full of
tapes with this data and if you crossed a map boundary, it would require
many tape mounts, etc. - the good old days, but that sure beat taping the
maps together, plotting the sites and hand picking the distances and
elevations off the maps by hand. Basically the way that all microwave paths
before the mid 80s were designed.

Gheeze I remember using a dial up modem to download path profiles from
Comsearch back in the 1980s I think. Print them out on a dot matrix
printer. Prior to that I think they arrived via fax machine.
A fax machine is a device that we used to use before civilization to help
Nigerian princes access money that was tied up an a US bank account.

Matt,
Send me the PCN and I’ll take a look at it and let you know. 2.8 MHz
separation doesn't sound right at 11 GHz since there is no frequency plans
that would give you that kind of separation.
Thanks,
Tim Hardy
FYI, I was one of the three founders of Comsearch back in 1977 and retired
in 2017 after 40 years - enjoying life at the beach, so you can see, I
have no dog in this fight.

Hello,
We have a SAF 80MHz 11GHz link between a couple of towers. There is a
new PCN for a new 80MHz UBNT AF-11FX link that is at the same tower
site as one of our ends. Their path would shoot through our tower at
that site. There is 2.8MHz of separation between our channels and the
polarity is the same (H). We have many licensed links but we are
pretty rural and have not had any other PCNs this close to our
channels. Would you be comfortable with allowing this link? We reached
out to the coordinator for the new link and they said it is within the
acceptable range. Thank you in advance for any insight you can
provide.
