There would have to be a singularity within relative proximity on order for any effect to be noticeable.
Hmmm, methinks that if there were a singularity close by, it's effect on my WISP equipment is going to be the least of my concerns ;)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13192440 Sun, 17 Apr 2005 13:28:30 EDT Re: Are wireless transmissions affected by gravity? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13186239 countrysky : On a similar note, have you guys heard of the BOG initiative, Broadband Over Gravity? I hear it's gonna wipe out all the WISP's sometime around Spring 2007.




heh heh

But the mass and density of the earth is much too small to have any noticablee affect at all.

Even the sun which has several hundred thousand times the mass of the earth, it's gravity has only a minute effect.

There would have to be a singularity within relative proximity on order for any effect to be noticeable. And the nearest one is speculated to be about 1600 light years away.

As to point to points anyone who is doing these will adjust both the down/uptilt and radial setting until the signal is at it's maximum. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13182871 Fri, 15 Apr 2005 23:53:34 EDT Re: Are wireless transmissions affected by gravity http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13181955 iccomputing : wow...John, that was awesome!!

I never though you to be a smart @ss!

hehehehe :D :D :D

Hey, if you like the skyhooks...you should check out these cordless extension cords!!

we call em' POA (power over air)

:p

all in fun man..highlight of my day!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13181955 Fri, 15 Apr 2005 21:55:25 EDT Re: Are wireless transmissions affected by gravity http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13181287 Book : I picked up a bunch of those sky hooks cheap on Ebay but the helium nozzle was busted.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13181287 Fri, 15 Apr 2005 20:15:00 EDT Re: windage http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13179919 bito : Hehe, I love Fridays.

"Downtilt" is a method by which your antenna (usually an omni) blasts some on your signal down by a few degrees so that you don't overshoot everyone. If you think of the radiation pattern of an omni as a donut, then downtilt is good for making the donut angle downwards on each side so it hits the ground a lot closer to your antenna. You get the idea. I am too shot out to explain better ;)

Oh, and I like to use my "skyhook" on my "relaxing weekend" ;)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13179919 Fri, 15 Apr 2005 17:06:22 EDT Re: windage http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13179451 superdog :

It's not a terribly scientific process, more like Kentucky windage.
OMFG!, LMAO!!!!:D:D:D:D:D

Therefore, its velocity decreases and it starts to fall out of the sky.

Use of devices called "skyhooks" are useful...you screw them into the clouds, and the signal "swings" between them like Tarzan on a vine.

So, the short answer to your question is "yes"...gravity affects your signal.

More specifically, 802.11x. I have heard people describe using downtilt on long links, and I want to know if gravity is the culprit!
