Flat fields are us.
We got some rain and the corn is shooting up like crazy, so we’re in the midst
of this right now. Sometimes you can tell from the signal graph that it will
go away in a few days, but moving the antenna just means the problem comes back
in 1-2 weeks. Until the corn tassels out. Happens with soybeans too but they
don’t grow a foot in a week. And with beans there comes a day in fall when
suddenly they all turn yellow and then brown and dry up seemingly overnight.

The dual slant is good for an urban environment where most of the surfaces are
horizontal or vertical. Not so much in a rural environment, but a flat field
comes close.

Spacial or frequency diverse systems need two receivers. I don’t know of any
solution that just uses one receiver. If you put up two antennas and phase
them together you will just create a new pattern with higher gain in one
direction and new nulls. So it will still fade. You need two SMs and a way to
select the best one. Or maybe just go in and swap the connection between them
remotely at the right time of year. If there was an STP that would check link
quality rather than speed that could be a thing.

Is there an SM side solution for this? We have a handful of customers we have
to go out twice a year to move their equipment up 5 feet or down 5 feet. In the
fall, I love to point out they just harvested the field across the road, didnt
they. theyre always "how did you know"
I could take the loss hit in many of these cases to do a splitter and diverse
antennas, but would that harm or hurt more?
Some of them we just have 2 radios installed a spring and fall radio, we just
have them swap which ones plugged in. 2 450b SMs leaves a lot of budget for
something that doesnt require touching
One of you geeks has to have come up with a solution over the years other than
truck rolls.
