Re: Wireless connection dropping at nights.

Many long years ago, a place I was at had problems with data transfers between the east & west coast but only on foggy nights. Turned out the Air National Guard a couple of blocks away cranked up their radar power at those times and whacked out the computer room. The place I was at had to shield the room.

Subject: [PCTECH] Wireless connection dropping at nights.

My ISP (Ligtel - short for Ligonier Telephone Company) uses wireless
connections from their towers to an antenna on my house to provide me with
service. Lately the service at night seems to drop. This doesn't sit
well with the wife who likes to night owl into her on line college
courses. Still working with them to discover why. I call their service
and they come out (during the day of course) and leave a tag on my door.
"All fixed". Then that night it dies again. Latest update is that I am
supposed to keep a log of outages.

As far as I can tell we do not have a huge colony of bats which take wing
at that time.
