Re: WR: 304km with RouterOS + XR5 + handmade antenna

Fri Nov 30, 2007 10:47 am

can you please give us some more detail about the antenna and feedhorn used ?
They are also on this thread.
Also how did you do the alignment ? (via alignment mode in ROS ? )
Sure.
Did you put the permanent link on ? ( you said it would be late sept. this year. )
Hy jorj, you are right. We tried to re-estabilis that link on the fist days of October, but we encounter some problem to re-establish it. We have still not re-establish it, becouse that site is very hard to reach (on this moment, there's a big quantity of snow there!).
I will write here when we will able to put it permanent.

Very interested myself.

The longest working link is between Cyprus and lebanon which is up since 11 months at 284km ,all these trials are not links if they can not be up at least for 48 hours.And there no evidence that this link worked even , at least u can print screen when you got ur first connection, and using 1.2 m dish will get u one or 2 reply on this distance but will not get you a link you need over 2.8m Dish on your next try.

First of all congratulations for this great job!!
The most impressive of all is that you used handmade feeders! it seems that they are simply PERFECT!
Would you mind giving us the key dimensions? the internal diameter, the total length, the length and the diameter of the cable inside (or did u use something else?) and finaly its distance from the bottom of the feeder.
I have tried to create feeders for the 5ghz band but without such results.

thanks

nice link

i would really like to know what do you use to work out the LOS?

We would like to test a long range wifi link also, but some sites say the LOS is fine, others say the earth curve would not allow.

any help appreciated

It would be neat to attempt a 70000km+ link and get it working, even if for only a few seconds.
It would probably require a different radio and a amp though.

Hy all.
On 16-06-2007, we (CISAR, a radioHAM italian association) have realized a 304km link (about 100km ground and 200km sea surface), between Amiata mount (1734asl) and Limbara mount (1300 ca asl).
We utilized a pair of wrap board (but they will be replaced by a new RB532 soon), a pair of Ubiquiti XR5, and a pair of handmade antenna (120cm satellite dish for the surface, and a bronze ball-bearing extracted from a bus).
The signal received on both end was from -58dBm to -62dBm, bitrate between 12 and 48Mbps, CCQ between 70 and 100.

The feed (we used the feed on the left)

On the moment i'm writing, this seems to be a distance world record (the precedent was from "Politecnico di Torino" on Italy, 295km).
The people which partecipate on this WR:

Amiata Mount
- Giuseppe IW5CGM (CISAR president);
- Antonello IK0TCL
- Mirco IZ3HAD (me)

Limbara Mount
- Natale IW0UIF
- Paolo IK0PCJ (antenna's constructor)
- Mauro IK0YUK

Hi Mipland,

That's a great & clever job. Congras!! So, could you please, post the images again. I'm experiencing the same issues (a long link a way to 200km) that I believe you can help me with details. Your post went forward through the Mikrotik Support Team (as a good achievement) after my ticket request about devices options to solve this issue. I appreciate any contact about that.

Cheers !!

Thor
