We had a 900MHz canopy radio with the 6' yagi mounted on a tree to penetrate thick trees. It didn't have to go far; less than a mile. Any-who, the tree fell over in a wind storm, but that Canopy radio kept working, even though the yagi was pointing straight into the ground. In fact, IIRC, it only lost about 3db of RSSI.

see some weird stuff. radio pointed at the ground from the siding guys. full of water so you wonder if its the water in the feedhorn reflecting just right. Someday it would be interesting to drive the whole network and see how many radios arent even pointed in the direction of the AP

Subject: [AFMUG] mangled radio
I asked the guy doing the work to take a photo but he didn't. He
described one wing of the LBE 5ac gen2 radio as being bent backwards and
the unit pointing towards the sky. 2 miles away we were getting about a
15% signal rx and still kind of able to login but not for long. I'm
guessing ionosphere bounce? He said the array had a lot of birdshit
smeared across it. The unit was 30ft up on a roof.
The question I'd like to ask is: the LBE 5ac gen2, can the radio be
interchanged with the mount for the LBE 5ac gen2 LR? I stupidly thought
the radio I was ordering was the same as the radio that got damaged,
looked in the photo to be the same.
BTW.. we still don't know what did the damage. Space rocks?
