  • Do you hace cancer jet by all the waves?

  • @AweSomo84 No, we've developed no cancer - Thanks for asking. We have however noticed that after 2 years of radiation, the woodpeckers can speak 5 languages and can tune up a Honda Civic.

  • That would be in Central California near Porterville in the foothills.

  • Real question is, did you replace the radome or repair the hole?

  • The Real Answer is, the chewed up radome is now hanging on a wall in one of our radio offices with a clock in the middle of it. I don't think they've replaced the cover yet but probably have it scheduled for replacement before winter. We always replace the covers because once they're ripped (or pecked) the wind just keeps working at it until the whole thing comes off usually ending up tangled with the feed horn and screwing up the path allighment.

  • Vegas Squirrel Says: JACKPOT! Sounds just like a slot machine paying off. About how long did it take to fill to the point of failure?

  • That info is not known. What is known is that there were no failure reports on this 18 GHz system until a day before the video was made. Apparently each acorn contributes a finite db amount of attenuation and the Woodpecker exceeded his path fade margin.
